The present article reflects on the concept of ‘spatial repertoire’ through a ‘trans’-perspective in order to explain the trans-formation of migrants’ homescapes during the pandemic—a time of restricted mobility. In the context of translocal im~mobility, this ethnographically informed multiple case study explores how three Greek ‘brain drain’ immigrants performed homescapes in the online-offline nexus from October to February 2020. Employing a critical discourse analytic approach, the findings showcase the pandemic biopolitics that have resulted in the de/reterritorialisation of everyday sociospatial activities, thus creating heterotopic places within the home. Specifically, the integration of work and political activity into the homescape has led to the resemiotisation of the linguistic landscape of homes and the dissolution of boundaries between ‘named’ spaces in homes. The concept of ‘transpatial repertoire’ captures the hybridisation of the pandemic-affected homescape, taking into consideration the vulnerabilities and emergent resistances to biopolitical control. In other words, it sheds light on the emergent heterotopias of im~mobility. (Pandemic, heterotopia, transpatial repertoire, linguistic landscape, homescape)*

不动的家园:大流行期间的迁徙跨空间曲目

本文通过“跨性别”视角反思“空间曲目”的概念,以解释大流行期间流动性受限时期移民家庭景观的转变。在跨地域不动的背景下,这项基于民族志的多案例研究探讨了三名希腊“人才流失”移民如何在 2020 年 10 月至 2020 年 2 月的线上-线下关系中进行家庭景观。采用批判性话语分析方法,调查结果展示了大流行病导致日常社会空间活动去域化/再域化的生命政治,从而在家中创造异位场所。具体来说,将工作和政治活动整合到家庭景观中,导致了家庭语言景观的重新符号化和家庭“命名”空间之间边界的消解。“跨空间曲目”的概念捕捉了受大流行影响的家居景观的混合,同时考虑到生命政治控制的脆弱性和紧急阻力。换句话说,它阐明了静止的新兴异托邦。(流行病、异托邦、跨空间曲目、语言景观、家园景观)*
