'I will eat the whole world': exploring how mobilities shape migrants' food-related occupations.
Introduction: Previous studies on migrants' food-related occupations have largely focused on their transition from the sending to the receiving country's foodscapes, overlooking their ongoing transnational and mobile practices. Objective: This article examines the interrelation between migrants' tra...

Objective: This article examines the interrelation between migrants' transnational mobilities and their food-related occupations. Methodology: A secondary analysis of interviews with 16 Vietnamese migrants in Metro Vancouver and seven returnees from Canada to Vietnam used a transnational and mobilities theoretical approach to explore how cross-border movements, media, and culinary influences shape migrants' food-related occupations. Results: Themes highlight dimensions including: a) Routine, mobilities and adaptation; b) (Transnational) social connections; and c) Global mobilities and power dynamics. Conclusion: Theorizations of transnationalism and mobilities offer a valuable framework for examining food-related occupations in occupational therapy and occupational science. This framework transcends simplistic distinctions between sending and receiving cultures, encouraging occupational therapists and researchers to critically engage with migrants' transnational identities and occupations, moving beyond assimilationist approaches. Introdução: Estudos anteriores sobre as ocupações relacionadas à alimentação entre migrantes têm se concentrado amplamente na transição dos cenários alimentares do país de origem para o país de destino, deixando em segundo plano as práticas transnacionais e móveis contínuas desses indivíduos. Objetivo: Este artigo examina a inter-relação entre as mobilidades transnacionais dos migrantes e suas ocupações relacionadas à alimentação. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma análise secundária de entrevistas com 16 migrantes vietnamitas na região metropolitana de Vancouver e sete retornados do Canadá para o Vietnã, utilizando uma abordagem teórica baseada nos paradigmas de transnacionalismo e mobilidades. Essa abordagem permitiu explorar como os movimentos transfronteiriços, os meios de comunicação e as influências culinárias moldam as ocupações alimentares dos migrantes. Resultados: Os achados destacam três dimensões principais: a) Rotina, mobilidades e adaptação; b) Conexões sociais (transnacionais); e c) Mobilidades globais e dinâmicas de poder. Conclusão: As teorizações sobre transnacionalismo e mobilidades oferecem um referencial teórico valioso para a análise de ocupações relacionadas à alimentação nos campos da terapia ocupacional e da ciência ocupacional. Esse referencial transcende distinções simplistas entre culturas de origem e de destino, incentivando terapeutas ocupacionais e pesquisadores a se envolverem criticamente com as identidades e ocupações transnacionais dos migrantes, superando abordagens assimilacionistas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
