- Abstract
- The return of migrants home is problematic because it manifests the important gaps at the social, identificational, and everyday levels. The social gaps are caused by the forced restructuring of socialnetworks. Breaks at the identificational level are associated with the acquisition of the migrant’s unique experience of being “out”, with the transnational multiplication of social reality, as well aswith the production of distance from the host community. Breaks at the level of everyday life are embodied in the assimilation of new social practices and corporeal idioms. The study of thephenomenon of return through the transnational, biographical, and identificational lenses seems informative and non-obvious. The analysis of migrants’ emotions, perceptions of the past and thefuture (in particular, the phenomenon of nostalgia and myth of the return), as well as everyday practices and their physical incarnations provides rich material for the interpretation of the phenomenon
