Meskhetian (Ahiska) Turks in Turkey and Their Perception of Spatial Belonging  [PDF]
Zerrin Toprak Karaman, Damla Mursül
Open Journal of Social Sciences (JSS) , 2018, DOI: 10.4236/jss.2018.612009
Abstract: In its various aspects, the subject of “belonging” has been an important fundamental indicator in terms of understanding “social belonging relations” throughout the history of mankind. This study focuses on the Meskhetian Turks who have immigrated to Turkey since 1992. Using the selected sample below, it considers the Meskhetian Turks’ choice of a preferred motherland, Turkey or their own Meskhetian Territories with regard to social belonging. The research also questions the role of Turkish Governments during the period 1992-2017 who as decision makers in matters of “immigration administration” “encouraged” or “discouraged” the Meskhetian Turks to enter in Turkey. In addition, the level of public awareness drawn by the Meskhetian Turks’ recently increasing rates of arrival in Turkey along with the subject of their social adaption to local public life will be questioned through in depth interviews. Moreover, on a broader level, the emotions of the Meskhetian Turks towards spatial belonging will be scrutinized. And in the final analysis, the content of this paper examines the general question of “motherland” belonging, which is claimed to exist amongst the Meskhetian Turks both towards Turkey and the Meskhetian territories.
A Māori perspective of being and belonging
Lesley Rameka
- , 2018, DOI: 10.1177/1463949118808099
Abstract: Belonging and being are inextricably linked. From a Māori perspective, belonging and being can be viewed through a number of interconnected historical and contemporary frames. One frame is derived from Māori perceptions of the creation of the universe and genealogical relationships to the universe and everything in it. Another frame of belonging and being stresses increasingly diverse and complex positionings that require negotiation of radically different terrains of assumptions, behaviours, values and beliefs. This article explores two interrelated aspects of being and belonging from a Māori perspective: whakapapa (‘genealogical connections’) and whanaungatanga (‘family relationships’). It discusses how each aspect has changed over time as a result of colonisation, urbanisation and western education, and identifies how the reflection of each has been transformed
Identidad regional en Magallanes, sus expresiones simbólicas y territoriales
MOLINA C,WALTER;
Magallania (Punta Arenas) , 2011, DOI: 10.4067/S0718-22442011000100003
Abstract: this article presents the most notable results from a quantitative study directed to explore and describe the regional identity perceived by the inhabitants of the region ‘magallanes y antártica chilena’, from the design and application of a survey of regional identity carried out during the second semester of the year 2009. among the most outstanding conclusions of the study we find the clear awareness expressed by people of belonging to a regional group with own characteristics (86,2%). this sense of belonging is high in all the provinces of the region, reaching up to 91% in the province of ‘última esperanza’ (puerto natales). on the other hand, some of the territorial and symbolic elements appreciated by the people of the magallanes region are: the positive appreciation of the family life, safety and tranquility of the region, the riches of its fora and fauna, among others highlighted aspects. this has a relation with what from the theoretical point of view is stated about a regional identity, that is to say, that this emerges when the people feel deep and emotionally linked to a territory, its history, traditions, landscapes and all those cultural expressions which provide singularity to a region or locality (amtmann, 1997).
Networking, production, identity: Cultural manager experiences
Mahir Namur
Revista CIDOB d'Afers Internacionals , 2011,
Abstract: By means of a biographical exploration in cultural management, this article examines the experience and development of the European Culture Association. Throughout the article, the author argues that we need to connect “action” and “production” to “identity”, and to build the latter through the former in order to create a sense of belonging towards Europe. What these experiences show is that, instead of underpinning the construction of collective cultural identities in the past (that is, through shared memories, rituals and pre-existent modes of belonging), collective cultural identities are produced in the process of working together, of carrying out projects and collective activities, networking, and participating. It is only through investing in identity, by crafting it slowly with others, that a sense of belonging is generated.
The role of refugee-established churches in integrating forced migrants: A case study of Word of Life Assembly in Yeoville, Johannesburg

HTS Theological Studies/Teologiese Studies , 2010, DOI: 10.4102/hts.v66i1.290
Abstract: The increasing embeddedness of religious issues within contemporary global phenomena has increased the role religion plays in migrants’ spiritual, social, and economic lives. Drawing on the findings of the study, conducted within one of the Pentecostal migrant churches in Johannesburg, this paper explored ways in which a (migrant) church shapes a refugee’s motivation to integrate and his resultant quest for a transient alternative belonging and inclusion within diasporic communities through church affiliation. Through interviews with members of the Word of Life Assembly (WOLA), one of the independent churches established by forced migrants in Yeoville, the study revealed that refugees tend to integrate themselves within their own churches, while the refugee church itself – labelled a ‘foreign’ entity by South African community members – works to garner approval and acceptance from South Africans and faith-based institutions. Cultural and linguistic problems were identified as major barriers to a refugee’s attempts to integrate into local churches, thereby becoming important issues that need to be considered in the establishment of migrant churches within the South African host community.

I, Migrant?
Amelia Walker
PORTAL : Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies , 2013,
Abstract: ‘I, Migrant?’ is a narrative poetry sequence that explores themes of language, culture, identity and belonging through the eyes of an Australian living in Den Haag, The Netherlands. The speaker in the poems faces challenges such as seeking work and making friends in a context where she does not speak the dominant language, Dutch. This proves far from easy, destabilising her sense of identity. She questions where and how she can belong. Reluctant to join what she considers “the white ghetto of Den Haag,” the speaker initially attempts to assimilate herself into Dutch culture, but later finds solace in a community of other expats. Within this community, national identities become exaggerated and people morph into stereotypes. The speaker increasingly defines herself as “Australian,” performing this identity both publicly and in private. Beneath the surface there bubbles, however, an awareness that she is acting out a myth. A more genuine sense of belonging emerges, unexpectedly, in an Asian food court, where she converses in Dutch with staff who also speak it as their second language. The speaker concludes that identity is located in language. It is therefore neither fixed nor singular, but multiple and forever changing.
Identity and Belonging in Mudrooroo’s Wild Cat Falling
Antara Ghatak
Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities , 2010,
Abstract: Wild Cat Falling, the rebellious, anti-colonial story by the black Australian author, Mudrooroo, tells us what ‘belonging’ means in Australia, when one is other than white. Written in an autobiographical mode, Mudrooroo’s first novel, Wild Cat Falling is an avant-garde as it presents an interventionist discourse for the first time in the literary history of Australia directed towards opening up the space for self-determined representation by an Aboriginal. The novel retells the continuing entrapment of the Indigenous minority in an inequitable network of social, economic and cultural relationship that they have inherited from British conquest. This paper explores how the issues of identity and belonging make Wild Cat Falling an important interventionist discourse.
The “Return” of Religious and Historiographic Discourse: Church and Civil Society in Southeastern Europe (19th – 20th centuries)
Stamatopoulos Dimitrios
Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies , 2004,
Abstract: In this paper; I began by examining national identity understood as cultural belonging. I tried to show that this kind of belonging fails to give a justifiable account of the pluralistic reality found in modern states. I then proceeded to examine the idea of belonging to a polity. My claim is that this sense of belonging is more suitable for nation-states that have multicultural societies and consider this plurality as a vital part of their national identity. If the arguments presented here are convincing; we will have to stop thinking of national belonging as belonging to a cultural group; and pay more attention to belonging to a polity and all that that entails.
