Transcending home: citizenship and belonging in the migrant experience
chapter
posted on 2023-06-09, 07:08 authored by Marianela Barrios AquinoThis chapter focuses on the concept of home (and its construction as a social as well as a subjective process) in relation to the migrant experience and the construction of multi-layered belongings. In this paper I argue that in the context of transnational migration, the concept of home focuses on its emotional perspective rather than its territorial connection, because it is constituted as a process of change and of searching related to the construction of multiple and extraterritorial ways of belonging (Brun & Fábos 2015; Korac 2009). Furthermore, I aim at challenging the notions of home as static and territorially bounded arguing that for migrants home is something highly portable, flexible, multiple, ambiguous and emotionally constructed.
