| Popis | There is an interesting overlap between the anthropological study of transnational migration and recent developments in social theory. Transnational migrants maintain continuing interconnections in both their country of origin and in their new homelands. Interpreting this experience of living within and beyond the boundaries of nation-state, transnational migration studies turned to theories of deterritorialized social space and deterritorialized identities. Similarly to reflexive cosmopolitanization these theories claim that the nation-state container view of society does not represent adequately the complexity and interconnectedness of contemporary social reality. The paper interprets this overlap between the approaches of transnational migration studies and the theory of reflexive cosmopolitanization as an expression of a shared normative background of cultural critique. |
