چکیده انگلیسی

Research on transnational emotions places particular emphasis on the notion of ‘home’ to migrants because of its centrality in identity construction, especially the sense of belonging. This paper charts out how the concept of home, sense of identity and social spaces are shaped during increased mobility and transnationalism among highly-educated and skilled new PRC migrants.1 Drawing theories from ‘emotional transnationalism’, ‘critical geographies of home’, ‘material geographies of home’ and ‘translocal geographies’, this paper engages with a critical analysis of the emotional spaces of home and identity and belonging based on the author's personal experience and reflection as a migrant herself and empirical data collected from 47 in-depth interviews with migrants who are originally from the PRC and have demonstrated great transnational mobility and intentions. This paper demonstrates the significant value of using an autobiographical approach to interrogate research questions and empirical data in transnational migration studies. It also makes theoretical contribution to the understanding of how increased transnational mobility shapes migrants' ideas of home, sense of identity and emotional relations with different space/places.
