The experience of migration brings particular challenges for wellbeing, especially as an individual's sense of disconnection from previous homes can persist over many years. This paper reports on how visitors to a Chinese community centre in NW England reflected upon their experiences of being uprooted from their homelands, even in cases where they had lived for more than half of their lives in the UK. Memories of their previous homelands were persistently called upon in understanding their sense of belonging and cultural identities in the present. We use their accounts in dialogue with recent theories of landscape, especially those that argue for an understanding of place as embodied, ambivalent and in a continual process of making and re-making, in order to trace memories of home in contemporary cultures of wellbeing.
迁移经历给幸福感带来了特殊的挑战,尤其是当一个人对以前家园的疏离感可能会持续多年。本文报告了居住在英格兰西北部的一个华人社区中心的访客是如何反思他们离开祖国家园的经历的,即使他们在英国已经生活了超过半生。在理解他们现在的归属感和文化身份时,他们不断地回忆起以前的家园。我们将他们的叙述与最近的景观理论进行对话,特别是那些认为场所是被身体化的、矛盾的,并处于不断的制造和再制造过程中的理论,以追溯当代幸福感文化中的家园记忆。
