Abstract

Taking Steven Vertovec's concept of Superdiversity as a starting point, this special issue examines the dynamic interaction of diversity variables in the field of sport and migration issues. The articles published this Speical Issue span from studies on sports labor migration (sports as migration) to consideration of the role sport plays in the everyday lives of disparate groups of migrants (sport in migration). Considering the contemporary diversification of migration, we argue that it is more relevant than ever to expand the empirical focus of research in sports and migration issues, but also the breadth of theoretical and methodological approaches utilized. To this end, we illustrate the value of postcolonial theory and intersectionality as theoretical frameworks that can focus on multiple axes of differentiation along with structuring conditions that impact sports and migration issues. Further, we call for researchers in the field to consider the value of methodologies that are novel to their work such as participatory action research and approaches that avoid methodological nationalism.

超多样性时代的体育与移民

本期特刊以Steven Vertovec的超级多样性(Superdiversity)概念为出发点，探讨了体育和移民问题领域中多样性变量的动态相互作用。这期特刊发表的文章涵盖了从体育劳动力迁移(体育作为迁移)到考虑体育在不同移民群体的日常生活中所扮演的角色(体育在迁移)的研究。考虑到当代移民的多样化，我们认为，扩大体育和移民问题研究的实证重点，以及所采用的理论和方法的广度，比以往任何时候都更有意义。为此，我们说明了后殖民理论和交叉性作为理论框架的价值，可以关注分化的多个轴，以及影响体育和移民问题的结构条件。此外，我们呼吁该领域的研究人员考虑对他们的工作来说新颖的方法的价值，例如参与性行动研究和避免方法论民族主义的方法。
