'This book will trigger dreams': The memoirs of lifestyle migrants in rural France-recounting, entertaining, promoting

Résumé

The migration of British individuals in rural and coastal areas of Europe and beyond has received an outstanding attention in media, with TV programs, movies, news articles or news magazine entirely dedicated to it and with a plethoric entertainment literature of " travel writings " and memoirs. In this paper I will present a critical analysis of such a literature, which explores how it is participating to the fetishisation of lifestyle migration, producing commercial argumentation for a lifestyle change via positive narratives and depictions of the migration processes, of the French rural places and of autochthone populations, marked with the socioeconomic structural conditions of lifestyle migration.
A migração de indivíduos britânicos para as zonas rurais e costeiras da Europa, e outros locais, tem recebido grande atenção dos media, com programas televisivos, filmes, notícias de imprensa e revistas totalmente dedicados a esta questão, para além de uma pletora de literatura de entretenimento de " escrita de viagens " e memórias. Neste artigo, apresento uma análise crítica deste tipo de literatura, explorando a forma como participa na fetichização da " lifestyle migration " , produzindo argumentos comerciais para uma mudança de estilo de vida através de narrativas positivas e de descrições dos processos migratórios, dos lugares da França rural e das populações locais, marcadas pelas condições estruturais socioeconómicas da " lifestyle migration " .
