| Popis: | This concluding chapter discusses four advantages of investigating migration settings from a socio-technical skill perspective. First, it provides an understanding of a particular form of peasant agency that is commonly overlooked. Second, focusing on skill allows us to better understand farmers’ decision-making. Third, it provides new insights into technology and Chinese modernity. Finally, it contributes to understanding migration beyond the common dichotomies such as between people and things, or migrants and those left behind. It concludes that even those who move to the cities remain part of their village communities of practice. They maintain their ties to the land through the ongoing management of their paddy fields – whether hands-on in person or at a distance using other household farming strategies. |
