| dc.description | Globalization deeply affects our everyday experiences and challenges our understandings of the contemporary world. Fluid and dynamic global fl ows in a multitude of ‘scapes’ move goods, people, ideas, and information around the world, so that we are increasingly confronted by more complexity and diversity in our everyday life (Appadurai 1996). Many of the major contemporary sociological theorists contend that the diversity and complexity brought about through the process of globalization—whatever this complex and disputed concept is seen as representing—play a signifi cant role in structuring the life of increasingly greater numbers of people (Beck 2000; Bauman 1998; Giddens 1998; Ritzer 2007b; Robertson 1992). A phenomenon that represents one of the main fl ows or ‘scapes’, as well as symbolizing advancing globalization itself, is migration. Migration is one of the most ‘visible’ trends of diversity and complexity in contemporary societies. Indeed, migration can be regarded as one of the typical traits of humans and, thus, any claim regarding contemporary migration should not be oriented toward its novelty per se. What is relatively new and typical for contemporary migration is its volume, increasing complexity, and the extent to which this process affects our societies. With an estimated growth of 58 million people between 1990 and 2010, international migration today concerns more than 200 million people (United Nations 2011) directly and a few billions indirectly, who come into contact with migrants or are left behind by them. Consequently, an increasing number of individuals in various parts of the world tends to be in direct, everyday contact with or are affected otherwise by migrants, and, at the same time, unprecedented numbers of people have the opportunity to become migrants themselves as well. This leads to a further ‘diversifi cation of diversity’ (Hollinger 1995) or ‘super-diversity’ (Vertovec 2007a) brought about by migration and it concerns many aspects of the everyday lives of individuals, communities, or states. | - |
