| Title | Trapped In-Between: Everyday Embeddedness Of Stay-At-Homes In Vojvodina |
| Summary | Within transnational migration scholarship, emphasis is placed in the pervasive processes through which migrants construct and redefine their simultaneous embeddedness in more than one place. However, there is no address of the impact or occurrences of disembeddedness processes among migrants, let alone among stay-at-homes. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the locality of Székelykeve/Skorenovac (Vojvodina, Serbia), this study moves embeddedness away from the individual to the collective – demonstrating that shifts between levels of embeddedness is experienced individually but also collectively from emergent tensions during this process. It is this tension that establishes a rupture in the locality, which compromises belonging, and thereby consequently facilitates a return to entrapment. By employing a transnational perspective, I return to the sending locality to centre this process and its cross-cutting implications among stay-at- homes. In order to conceptualize and demonstrate the entangled nature of embedding and disembedding, I apply a multiscalar approach and utilize the concept of locality as analytical tools. |
