Abstract

The overall objective of this article is the reconstruction of conceptual frames and theoretical presuppositions shared by recent theories of transnationalism which deal with the question of identity formation of migrants. In the first part of this article I am going to give a critical reading of Pnina Werbner s book The Migration Process and by revealing theoretical dilemmas present in this book I attempt to sketch my interpretive strategy. To explore this issue further I am in the second part going to narrow my focus and concentrate on the concept of multi-local lifeworld as it was developed as a theoretical translation of a radical concept of transnational social fields. The critical intention of this paper developed in the second part as well as in the third part dealing with the concept of diaspora is the elaboration on the analytical distinction between heterodox and orthodox interpretative strategies in coping with the question of transnational identity formation.
