“…For example, Salih (2002) argues that Moroccan homes in Italy are decorated with a mixture of Italian and Moroccan objects, revealing double belongings and plural identities. Such a practice of blending distinct cultural and material forms is indeed stressed by many scholarly studies that address material culture, fashion, and consumption in migratory and diasporic contexts (see, for example, Beverly McCloud 1996;Bridgwood 1999;Ger and Østergaard 1998;Koskennurmi-Sivonen et al 2004;Mehta and Belk 1991;Oswald 1999). My main criticism of these studies is that they easily and comfortably assign material objects to definite geographical and cultural settings in which they Downloaded by [Bilkent University] at 00:30 04 October 2017 acquire fixed and stable meanings.…”

This article explores how Turkish people in Vienna create a collective sense of belonging and position themselves in a complex web of diasporic relations, through the materiality and aesthetics of their homes. It aims to show how the efforts of displaced people to construct a belonging to the new place of dwelling are intertwined with the aesthetic and material practices of making homes. Based on ethnographic research, it will be argued that a particular "Turkish home" is collectively created through shared aesthetic practices and discourses and serves as a material and social medium both for imagining and building collectivities and for constructing Özlem SavaŞ IS a lecturer In the Department Of cOmmunIcatIOn anD DeSIgn at BIlkent unIverSIty.

“…It is both observed and advocated that diasporic material cultures are formed by fusions, mixtures and blends of distinct cultural and material forms in the domains of fashion, home decoration and consumption spaces (e.g. Beverly-McCloud, 1996;Bridgwood, 1999;Ger and Østergaard, 1998;Koskennurmi-Sivonen et al, 2004;Mehta and Belk, 1991;Oswald, 1999;Salih, 2002).…”

A particular 'Turkish taste in Vienna', which has been formed through experiences of migration from Turkey and resettlement in Vienna, serves as a significant aesthetic and social medium for constituting a collective sense of belonging. This article explores how Turkish people in Vienna constitute, perform and enunciate belongings through practices and discourses around travelling forms and spaces of material culture. Underpinned by an ethnography founded on a repertoire of Turkish objects in Vienna, this article addresses the relational constitution of a particular taste and a diasporic belonging within a specific context of displacement and relocation of both people and material objects. 'Taste diaspora' refers to a certain diasporic sphere that is formed through a collective taste in material objects and enunciated in the aesthetics of the everyday.
