“…Later on, she started to live with relatives and friends, having her own room and sharing access to communal areas such as the living room and kitchen. However, rarely did she feel at home there either (Miranda‐Nieto, 2020). This was mainly related to the fact that, in a cohousing arrangement, she did not have a space of her own, under her own control.…”

“…More broadly, home may be experienced in the here‐and‐now but also be reconnected to the past and to selective memories of it, or anticipated and projected into the future (Boccagni et al., 2020). In short, home is a matter of ongoing engagement with place in, and across, multiple scales (Miranda‐Nieto, 2020). Return migration cuts across these spatial and temporal coordinates, thereby providing a meaningful terrain to explore the shifting locations and meanings of home for returnees and their counterparts.…”

Is return migration a form of ‘homecoming’, as common sense would have it? While increasing research has addressed both its determinants and the underlying lived experience, still lacking is a systematic revisit of return through the prism of home studies. Based on a multiscalar approach to home and on our fieldwork into Ecuadorian migration, we explore return as a life transition between separate geographic spaces and biographical times; in essence, as an ongoing interplay between different views, forms and scales of home. What potential returnees construct as home, how different this is from the past, and on what spatial and temporal scales they (re)locate their sense of home, are all critical influences on their return orientations and practices. Overall, little generalization can be made about the shifting temporalities and spatialities of return migration. Nonetheless, reconstructing the attendant (re)locations of home affords a more nuanced and sensitive understanding of it.

“…We understand scales, here, as an analytics to capture the interdependence between different spatial and temporal settings of religious identification. Scales, in this optic, are spatial as much as temporal, relational, and evaluative (Miranda-Nieto, 2021b).…”

“…Likewise, daily WhatsApp group calls among Sikh devotees in different European countries open up a de-materialized and collective space for prayer and meditation (Helland, 2002). Although these religious practices take place in the home, due also to the Covid-enforced limitations, they extend beyond it (Miranda-Nieto, 2021b), thereby encompassing spaces that are both material and virtual, private and collective.…”

Domestic religion and the migrant home: The private, the diasporic and the public in the sacralization of Sikh dwellings in Italy

Migrants’ home, as a notion and a set of related experiences and locations across countries, is subject to an increasing research interest. Little of it, however, has looked at their ways to circulate and emplace religion, through portable beliefs, artifacts and practices, as a form of homemaking. Likewise, little of the debate on home and migration has explored the home not just in terms of housing conditions or material cultures, but as an infrastructure for migrants to reproduce their collective identities through religion. We contribute to fill these research voids with a case study of “domestic religion” among Sikh immigrant families in Northern Italy. We specifically analyze the religious practices whereby some migrants, building on certain objects and ways to use the domestic space, turn ordinary dwellings into meaningful homes. Their ways to “sacralize” the home though temporary or permanent infrastructures of religiosity illuminate changing uses and meanings of home. Moreover, they reveal the critical interdependence between the home and the public and diasporic spheres of religion. This opens up a potentially very rich field for research on the lived experience of domestic space, showing how religion (re)shapes the home, and the home (re)shapes religion, across immigrant groups and life course positions.
