Abstract

Drawing on qualitative interviews with South Korean (Korean hereinafter) migrants in Western Canada, this study examines the migrants' sense of belonging and social networking practices during their post‐migration settlement and adaptation, including during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The study focuses on a relatively recent cohort of Korean labour migrants whose main motivation for migration was to explore flexible and relaxed ways of living in the host society. Through an analysis of these migrants' lived experiences, the study examines how they have managed various forms of social networking and developed particular senses of social belonging. The study reveals the migrants' lack of a sense of social belonging and tendency to pursue individualized micro‐networks, which were particularly challenged during the COVID‐19 pandemic.

生活在微网络中:韩国移民在加拿大城市的社交网络实践
通过对加拿大西部韩国移民(以下简称韩国移民)的定性访谈,本研究考察了移民在移民后定居和适应期间(包括COVID - 19大流行期间)的归属感和社交网络实践。这项研究的重点是相对较新的一批韩国劳工移徙者,他们移徙的主要动机是探索在东道国社会灵活和轻松的生活方式。通过对这些移民生活经历的分析,该研究考察了他们如何管理各种形式的社交网络,并形成了特殊的社会归属感。研究表明,流动人口缺乏社会归属感,倾向于追求个性化的微网络,这在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间尤其受到挑战。
