Abstract
- A growing body of scholarship has shown how, in order to reproduce themselves, households increasingly ‘stretch’ in space, accessing resources drawn from multiple local contexts. The paper explores how young Italian middle-class families in London undertake transnational mobility projects. The data show, on the one hand, that intra-EU migration is a viable solution to overcome a middle-class reproduction crisis, and on the other hand, how a middle-class position is pursued and achieved inter-generationally through social reproductive practices which imply the transnational negotiation and validation of different forms of capital.
