| Sammanfattning: | Drawing on a study of French men in relationships with post-Soviet women in post-Soviet countries, this article examines these privileged migratory flows through the prism of intimacy and gender. This theoretical shift offers a fresh perspective on these mobilities, moving beyond the traditional focus on class and social ascent, to explore the intersection and reconfiguration of power dynamics during migration. In this way, the privileges activated through displacement are highlighted in the intimate, professional, and public spheres. By migrating and moving from one gender regime to another, most of the men studied experienced upward mobility in both gender and class, closely linked to nationality (racialised) relations. |
