“…In particular, the problem of migration can be considered from the viewpoint of "temporal belonging" to another society or culture (May, 2016;Binaisa, 2011;Fenster, 2004). There are attempts to identify mechanisms of adaptation and acceptance of identity in migrants through temporary structures.…”

“…Para algunos miembros de la segunda generación el "retorno ancestral" opera como el eje alrededor del cual giran sus vidas, mientras que para otros ya es un anacronismo. Entre los dos extremos de esta dicotomía existe un panorama mucho más complejo donde la capacidad de gestión autónoma, la identidad, la condición migratoria y la dimensión temporal segmentan transversalmente los ámbitos sociales transnacionales (Binaisa, 2011: 521, traducción propia).…”

Se examina la movilidad prolongada de una población mexicana de ascendencia guatemalteca. A tal efecto, se obtuvieron datos a través de métodos etnográficos, principalmente vía testimonios de trayectorias de vida. La perspectiva amplia permite encuadrar la movilidad individual en marcos de análisis más extensos, entre ellos el grupo familiar. La movilidad está influenciada por ese contexto familiar y por otros factores, como circunstancias coyunturales específicas o el momento en el ciclo de vida del migrante. Migraciones interrumpidas, circulares y de retorno dificultan la comprensión de esas trayectorias porque generalmente son parte de procesos, como flujos mixtos y migraciones continuadas.

“…She concludes that transnationalism is not only a first-generation phenomenon, but also that the 'second-generation are connected physically and emotionally to more than one country' (Somerville 2008: 30). The transnational fields in which the second generation grow up sometimes have different names; for instance, Binaisa (2011) writes about the 'diasporic landscape' of Ugandan migrants' everyday practices of 'belonging' in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, whatever their name, these concepts all refer to an imagined and maintained sense of cultural or familial roots (Wessendorf 2007b) in a distant place.…”

Migration scholars often assume a close association between transnational social practices and transcultural forms of belonging. Nonetheless, we argue that the distinction of both concepts is analytically important and helpful in understanding the transnational lives of second‐generation migrants. To analyse the biographical accounts and network maps of second‐generation Spaniards living in Switzerland, we draw a theoretical distinction between social practice (transnational networks) and forms of belonging (transcultural belonging). Our analysis shows second‐generation migrants maintaining social networks over time, interrupting them, or reconnecting with them. Their sense of belonging may either endure or fade. Although the interconnection between social networks and the sense of belonging is neither straightforward nor causal, we can nevertheless identify five types of network/belonging combinations. These types describe the various ways in which second‐generation migrants are likely to articulate transnational networks and transcultural belonging in their lives.
