On the ground of ethnography among liveaboards in Greece the book discusses the following questions: How can we conceptualise these novel forms of movements that seem to sit uncomfortably in between the standard dichotomized division of work within migration studies and wider social sciences: internal/international migration, temporary/permanent, migration/tourism? How do we theoretically and methodologically situate these individuals that are statistically often invisible and seem to evade the common categories of describing a mobile person, such as migrant or tourist? In order to answer these questions, the author explores ethnographically the connection between the maritime environment, sea imaginaries and lifestyle migration. It puts forward six crew portraits in order to highlight details from individuals’ lives on a longer time perspective but also to place the individual stories, sea imaginaries and people’s experiences with the maritime environment in dialogue with each other. This makes it possible to better understand the expectations, aspirations and experiences of maritime lifestyle migrants and to discuss further the idea of temporarily unbelonging in practice.Blue HorizonsMigration, immigration & emigrationbicsscSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnographybicsscTravel writingbicsscAegean Sea RegionEmigration and immigrationAegeancultural anthropologyethnologyGreecelife on the shiplifestylemaritimemigrationstraveltravel around the worldEgejsko morjeetnologijaGrčijakulturna antropologijamigracijenačin življenjapomorstvopopotništvopotovanje okoli svetaživljenje na ladjiMigration, immigration & emigrationSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnographyTravel writingRogelja Natašaauth920900BOOK9910557889703321Blue horizons2892313UNINA
