Det är vanligt att folk som kommer till ett nytt land känner utanförskap, att de är i diaspora. Dock är det lika trivialt att drabbas av liknande känsla av exkludering när de besöker hemlandet. Men vad beror detta på? Syftet med föreliggande studie är främst att fånga kärnan i varför folk ifrån Bosnien-Hercegovina känner sig som diasporamedlemmar när de återvänder hem. / It is common for people who immigrate to a new country to feel left out, to feel like members of diaspora. However, it is equally trivial to have similar feelings when you re- visit your home country. But why is that? The main aim of this thesis is primarily to capture the essence of why people from Bosnia-Herzegovina feel as diaspora members when they re- visit their homeland.

Chaque année, des milliers d’Indo-Canadiens envoient des sommes considérables du Canada vers l’Inde. Ces flux, mieux connus sous le nom de transferts de fonds (TDF), ont connu une croissance soutenue et ce, même depuis la crise économique mondiale de 2008. Or, que savons-nous des raisons qui motivent ces transferts de fonds du pays d’accueil vers le pays d’origine, et plus spécifiquement en ce qui concerne la diaspora indo-canadienne (DIC)? L’objectif de la présente recherche est de proposer un cadre opératoire et des pistes de recherche qui permettent de jeter les bases d’une étude qualitative de plus grande ampleur sur le sujet. Pour développer notre grille, nous recensons et analysons de façon critique la littérature portant sur les déterminants des TDF. Nous élaborons ensuite un profil socioéconomique, socioprofessionnel et historique de la DIC. Nous arrivons à la conclusion que quatre variables importantes doivent être étudiées et proposons un certain nombre d’indicateurs afin d’y arriver. Il s’agit des variables migration, famille, attachement familial et attachement au lieu d’origine.

This dissertation investigates the intersection between political rhetoric and popular ideas about the Greek debt crisis and processes of identification and differentiation within a Greek diasporic community. It documents the significant role the economic crisis has assumed in local political rhetoric and explores the ways in which it has enriched previously existing discourses of identification, reshaping long-standing political debates, and engendering opportunities for transnational mobilization. The researcher's aim is to link culturally specific discursive strategies, interpretative trajectories, personal histories and wider moral economies, showcasing some of the complexities in processes of ethnic identification and intra-group differentiation. In short, this dissertation uses the advances of critical anthropological theory on place, objects, discursive and sensory practices to frame the plurality of ideas and rhetoric about the crisis within political, economic, and cultural contexts.
