dc.description.abstract | This paper is an investigation, in a methodological sense, of the relevance of place in the context
of international migration. It offers a critical discussion of the concept of diaspora, especially in
relation to place. It furthermore argues against the use of homogenised and pre-fixed concepts
such as disembedding as bases for empirical research about place in the context of international
migration. The theoretical part of the paper begins with what has been called the “cultural turn”
in human geography, a development which is discussed in relation to the material and the
immaterial. Throughout the paper the argument is that the material and the immaterial interact
within the concept of place. The methodological argument starts with the phenomenological
concept of typification, and continues by placing categories and prototypes as methodological
concepts in a semiotic model which highlights both the material and the immaterial contexts of
life. | en |
