Abstract

Etter EU-utvidelsene i 2004 og 2007 flyttet mange øst-europeere til de vesteuropiske landene for å arbeide i de rurale primærnæringene. I artikkelen diskuterer jeg hvordan denne flyttestrømmen utfordrer sentrale perspektiver i den bygdesosiologiske flytteforskningstradisjonen, spesielt fokuset på på livsstilsflytting, bygdas post-produktivistiske karakter og betydningen av at det rurale konstrueres som «idyllisk». Gjennom analyser av et kvalitatitivt datamateriale (dybdeintervjuer med 54 øst-europeere som arbeider i den norske landbruksnæringen) viser jeg hvordan forestillinger om byda ut fra dikotomien idyll/kjedsomhet og det rurale som et klasseløst og tradisjonsbundet samfunn er lite meningsfulle i analyser av de østeuropeiske innflytterne, ei heller av de vest-europeiske bygdesamfunnene.
