Households as spaces of rootedness and their transformations in a global context

Abstract

Homes, as places of rootedness and attachment, have been approached in their condition as lived spaces and as a place of one's own. But, in a context of extreme fluidity and hyper-flexibility of the spatio-temporal, characterised by accelerated transnational and translocal recompositions, how are homes configured? And, specifically, how are the households of "transmigrants", representatives of this hypermobility and deterritorialisation and of the current dynamics in which distance and time intersect, articulated? Barañano proposes an integrated approach to the dimensions of space and time in social life, without giving priority to one dimension over the other, in order to study the forms of coexistence and residential behaviour of "transmigrants", trying to analyse the new versions according to which these spaces recreate feelings of belonging and identification of their own as a strategic space in their lives.
