Youth research recognises that the struggles typical of the transition to adulthood can no longer be assumed to occur 'at home'. However, few investigations have focused on how the imagination of mobility shapes that which is not home but which may later become so. To address this lacuna, this article engages with how the imagination of the future of young people is entrenched with 'motility', namely, the possibility for a type of movement that arises out of a specific relationship with one's current context. Focusing on Sardinian youth, the article problematises the strong mobility orientation which can occur through the unfolding of an imagined continuous 'lived' relationship with Sardinia. The author calls this 'rooted mobility'. The article discusses the limits that accompany such mobility, and the potential for social action that emerges, framing narratives of the future within the conditions of peripherality in which young Sardinians live. The article draws on 341 essays on the topic of the future collected from students in their penultimate year of school.
青年研究认识到，向成年过渡阶段典型的挣扎不再被认为只会“在家里”出现。然而，很少有调查关注流动性想象如何塑造那些并非家乡但日后可能成为家乡的地方。为了填补这一空白，本文探讨了年轻人对未来的想象如何与“能动性”紧密相连，即一种源于与自身当前环境的特定关系而产生的移动可能性。本文聚焦于撒丁岛的青年，对通过与撒丁岛展开想象中的持续“生活”关系而可能出现的强烈流动性倾向提出质疑。作者将此称为“扎根的流动性”。本文讨论了这种流动性所伴随的局限，以及由此产生的社会行动潜力，在撒丁岛青年所处的边缘环境条件下构建未来叙事。本文借鉴了从即将毕业的学生那里收集到的341篇关于未来主题的文章。
