Titel des Promotionsprojektes: "Neither here, nor there” - Narratives of home and belonging of Syrian Refugees in Germany"
"My study focuses on Syrian refugees in Germany and their efforts to integrate. I focus on how they experience home in everyday life and which homemaking practices they employ. Thousands of families have traded their lives to pursue better opportunities for their children and for the potential of a new, fresh and stable life. They no longer have to face bombs, snipers, kidnapping and other life-threatening fears, but instead they have to face bureaucracy, language barriers, social isolation, integration challenges and the daily struggle to find inner peace, acceptance and protection. Such profound life changes in the sociocultural area may result in a disrupted lifestyle, leading to unstable patterns of social relations within refugee families, along with the transient foundation of rights, which often confronts families with a sense of fear and might even push them to the margins of society. The experience of flight and asylum status may produce multiple ambiguities and destabilizes their sense of belonging. Making home in the host country becomes more complicated and related insecurities put them in a liminal, ‘in-between’ position, affecting their vision of and plans towards their future. In my dissertation, I therefore aim at exploring Syrian refugees’ construction of home and belonging and to show how it is differently negotiated within family and its consequences on family relations as a part of everyday lives. Therefore, the diverse standpoints of home-making within family affiliates and the negotiation of home and belonging shall be researched along with exploring the new emerging relationships due to differing attitudes toward core topics."
