Özet
Bu makale, Türkiye’deki iç göçmen gruplari için hemsehri derneklerinin nasil anlamli bir mekâna, bir eve, dönüsmesini ve algilanmasini incelemektedir. Mevcut literatür, genellikle hemsehri derneklerinin islevleri, ulusötesi ve yerel ötesi etkilesimleri ile bunlara katkilari üzerineyogunlasirken, mekânsal faktörlerin bu süreçteki rolü genellikle göz ardi edilmistir. Bu çalisma, 2013-2018 yillari arasinda yürütülen etnografik bir arastirmanin ve mevcut 'ev' çalismalari literatürünü kullanarak, göçmenlerin hemsehri derneklerinde ‘ev' duygusunu nasil insa ettiklerigini, özellikle yüz yüze etkilesimler, nesneler ve uygulamalar üzerinden incelemektedir. Arastirma, hemesehri derneklerinin bir 'ev mekânina dönüsmesinin dernek liderlerinin eylemleri ve göçmenlerin gündelik yasamlarinda kullandiklari nesneler araciligiyla gerçeklestigini ortaya koymaktadir. Bu süreç, göçmenler arasinda asinalik ve güven duygusu yaratmada kritik bir rol oynamaktadir. Makale ayrica, göçmenlerin kimliklerinin sekillendigi bu aidiyet duygusuna dönüstügünü vurgulamaktadir. Sonuç olarak, hemsehri derneklerinin mekansal olarak incelenmesi, derneklerin yalnizca fiziksel bir yapidan ibaret olmadigini, ayni zamanda duygusal bir emegin, uygulanmasini, nesnelerin ve etkilesimlerin önemli bir rol oynadigini ortaya koymaktadir.
This article addresses the question of how hometown associations (HTAs, hereafter) transform into meaningful spaces, or homes, for internal migrant groups in Turkey and how they are perceived within this context. While previous research has primarily focused on the functions, transnational and translocal interactions, and contributions of HTAs to the migrants’ origin, spatial factors have often been overlooked. Utilising ethnographic research conducted from 2013 to 2018 and a review of existing literature on the topic of 'home' studies, this study examines how migrants create a sense of 'home' in HTAs, with a particular focus on the role of face-to-face interactions, objects, and practices. The research findings demonstrate that the transformation of HTAs into a 'home' is achieved through the actions of the association leaders and the utilisation of home-making practices and objects. These processes and interactions are crucial for fostering a sense of familiarity and comfort among migrants. Furthermore, the article underscores that migrants seek this sense of belonging, which significantly influences their identities. Ultimately, the spatial analysis of fellow townsmen associations demonstrates that the associations are not merely a physical structure; they are also an emotional labour, the implementation of which, objects, and interactions play a crucial role.
