This research mainly examines the importance of the intersected places that are crucial in the daily life of young migrants from a sociological perspective. This group is different from other migrant groups because they are both in transition from childhood to adulthood and the changes in the routine of the host country. As a theoretical discussion, this paper examines intertwined places in their daily life and looks at their migration experiences by adding a spatiality perspective. To cover all dimensions and understand better youth experiences, which are underestimated in migration studies, youth migrant identity will be examined by focusing mainly on four different intersected places that are education (training centers or universities), home, workplace, and street/ public space. Their encounters there and their various experiences of them by combining with their backgrounds produce translocational positionalities in their everyday life. As a result, different from other researches, by examining the interconnected dynamics of many locations, this study helps to comprehend the experiences of young migrants from a holistic viewpoint.

Kentsel Bağlamda Göçmen Gençlerin Mekanlarını Kesişimsel Yaklaşımlaşımla Sosyolojik Açıdan Anlamak

Öz

Bu araştırma, ağırlıklı olarak genç göçmenlerin gündelik yaşamlarında hayati olan mekanların önemini sosyolojik açıdan kesişimsel bir yaklaşımla incelemektedir. Bu grup, hem çocukluktan yetişkinliğe geçiş sürecinde olmaları, hem de bulundukları ülkenin rutinindeki değişimler nedeniyle diğer göçmen gruplarından farklıdır. Teorik bir tartışma olan bu makale, kentsel mekânın içiçiçe geçmiş alanlarını inceleyerek bu grubun göç deneyimlerine mekânsal bir perspektiften bakmaktadır. Göç çalışmalarında gözardı edilen tüm boyutları kapsamak ve gençlik deneyimlerini daha iyi anlamak için genç göçmen kimliği, temel olarak kesişen dört farklı yer olan eğitim (eğitim merkezleri veya üniversiteler), ev, işyeri ve sokak/kamusal alan odaklanarak incelenecektir. Bu mekanlarda girdikleri etkileşimler bugünkü deneyimlerini anlamak için önemlidir fakat onların farklı mekanlardaki deneyimleri farklı toplumsal pozisyonlarla birleşerek değişken ve geçişli konumsallıklar üretir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma, diğer araştırmalardan farklı olarak, birçok lokasyonun birbirine bağlı dinamiklerini inceleyerek, genç göçmenlerin deneyimlerini bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla anlamaya yardımcı olmaktadır.
