Ubiquitous mobile communication technologies have played an integral role in the way people navigated forced physical immobilities produced through restrictive measures during a pandemic. This paper critically investigates how 15 ageing people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds in Victoria, Australia used a range of digital communication technologies and online platforms to cope during the 2020 lockdown. The study deploys the mobilities lens (Urry, 2007) in analysing a data set based on conducting remote and in-depth interviewing. It foregrounds how everyday and multi-scalar digital behaviours afford cultural and social connectedness, reflecting diverse forms of care practices. However, forced immobile practices emerged as shaped by disproportionate network capital. In sum, this study puts forward a nuanced perspective in understanding the scales and textures of (im)mobile practices of ageing migrants during a lockdown in Australia.

无处不在的移动通信技术在人们驾驭在大流行期间通过限制性措施产生的强制身体不动的方式中发挥了不可或缺的作用。本文批判性地调查了 15 名来自澳大利亚维多利亚州具有文化和语言多样性 (CALD) 背景的老年人如何在 2020 年的封锁期间使用一系列数字通信技术和在线平台来应对。该研究部署了流动性镜头（Urry，2007）来分析基于进行远程和深入访谈的数据集。它突出了日常和多标量数字行为如何提供文化和社会联系，反映了各种形式的护理实践。然而，由于不成比例的网络资本形成了强迫不动的做法。总共，
