Résumé
"In this paper, we explore the social theory and consequent methodology that underpinsstudies of transnational migration. We propose a social field approach to the study ofmigration, and distinguish between ways of being and ways of belonging in that field.We argue that assimilation and enduring transnational ties are neither incompatible norbinary opposites. We highlight social processes and institutions that are routinely obscuredby traditional migration scholarship but become opened up to analytical scrutinyby using a transnational lens. We locate our approach to migration research within alarger intellectual project, undertaken by scholars of transnational processes in manyfields, to rethink and reformulate the concept of society such that it is no longer automaticallyequated with the boundaries of a single Nationstate"
