Research question How is transnationality experienced? In which biographical and intergenerational context is the development or the lack of transnational networks, affiliations, or social practices situated? 5

Transnationality Gender Multiple social inequalities Intergenerational context Biography Ethnical boundary making

Data collection Multi-sited ethnography (Marcus 1995): Following people, connections, associations and relationships across space

Data Analysis biographical analysis 8

Biographical approach the empirical research strategy focus at the case structure as the central aim of analysis possibility to analyze the link between social context and individual The central form of data collection in this approach is the narrative interview introduced by Schütze (1976, 1983) in the German discourse 9

Biographical approach To investigate invisible structures of transnational migration spaces possibility to overcome territorial limitation and a methodological nationalism Anthias(2003), Apitzsch(2003), Lutz(2004), Riegel(2011) (Ruokonen-Engler & Siouti 2012) 10

Biographical approach possibility to reconstruct diversity, complexity and multiple discriminations in the context of transnational mobility access to subjectivity & embeding of the biographies in social structures Reconstruction of social change and its influence on biographical subjects Anthias(2003), Apitzsch(2003), Lutz(2004), Riegel(2011) (Ruokonen-Engler & Siouti 2012) 11

Biographical approach Principle of reconstruction method of abduction Principle of sequentiality 12

biographical reflexivity reflecting the frames of analysis not to reintroduce a form of methodological nationalism in focusing on life situations of migrants from the perspective of receiving societies to take into account normative cultural expectation (Ruokonen-Engler & Siouti 2012) 13

CONTEXT INFORMATION Representation in media

I prefere 10 «negroes» to a Kosovo-Albanian

They need this somehow: two shot women, a men with a slit throat on the same day. not all Kosovo-Albanians living in Switzerland are criminell, but an important minority. What are the reasons?

Erstellt: 02.02.2009, 10:01 Uhr) Many Kosov-Albanians feel to be not accepted in Switzerland

Balkans is suddenly cool

First Results: Biographical Reflexivity & access to the field shows that ethnic boundary making processes are relevant not only in the analysis of the data, but also in the process of data collection Importance to overcome methodological nationalism & ethnical groupism (Brubaker) in taking into account processes of ethnical boundary making in the relevant context (Switzerland & Kosovo) 23
