ABSTRACT

This study aims to understand trust and affect that are developed during young people’s educational migration from West Kalimantan to Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It further questions to what extent trust encourages migration and young migrants’ adaptation at the place of destination. In-depth interview and participant observation are utilised for gathering ethnographic data. Nine young people, between 19- and 26-years-old, were repeatedly interviewed for 20 months. This study found that young people’s education-related aspirations which later feed into their migratory experiences are motivated by relational affect of shared hope, and relational trust towards social networks. Hope can fluctuate, but its continuous nature often succeeds in maintaining educational aspirations and overcoming difficulties during the migratory process. Hope in others’ goodwill and intentions is the foundation of affect-based trust that is particularly grounded in supportive relationships. Together, relational affect and relational trust encourage young people to move and survive the challenges at the place of destination.

摘要

本研究旨在了解年轻人从西加里曼丹到印度尼西亚日惹的教育迁移过程中产生的信任和影响。它进一步质疑信任在多大程度上鼓励移民和年轻移民在目的地的适应。深入访谈和参与观察用于收集民族志数据。9 名 19 至 26 岁的年轻人在 20 个月内反复接受采访。这项研究发现，年轻人的教育相关愿望后来融入他们的移民经历，是由共同希望的关系影响和对社交网络的关系信任所驱动的。希望可以波动，但其持续性往往成功地保持了教育愿望并克服了迁移过程中的困难。希望他人的善意和意图是基于情感的信任的基础，这种信任尤其基于支持性关系。关系影响和关系信任共同鼓励年轻人移动并在目的地的挑战中生存下来。
