Long Abstract
The objective of this panel is to explore the relation between migrant
transnationalisms, temporalities and notions of home (both as dwelling and
place of belonging). We want to discuss how transnational ways of being and
belonging (Schiller 2004) change in time and the consequences of such
reconfigurations for social fields that span the borders of nation-states.
As several authors have shown, transnationalism assumes diverse forms and
different intensities. Furthermore, not all migrants are by definition
transnational; class, gender, generation and position in the migration
project all have implications to the ways of being (or not) transnational
(Friedman 2002). This panel draws on these debates but it focuses on the
importance of temporalities in the reconfiguration of transnational habitus
(Vertovec 2009). We would like to discuss, for instance, how time has an
impact on (i) the ritualization of transnational spaces, on (ii)
relatedness and the logics of redistribution and care and (iii) on
(intergenerational and gendered) notions of dwelling, home and belonging.
We would like to invite contributions about diverse migration contexts and
we are interested in papers with theoretical as well as ethnographic
approaches.
