Abstract:

Migration and migration experience currently present an important phenomenon for a variety of social groups of general public in Slovakia. Migration is considered to be one of key civilization challenges. The main aim of the paper is to provide the first findings about a relatively overlooked topic of the young people‘ s return home from abroad. The paper deals with the young migrants‘s decision-making process with regards to their return home. Its complementary part is the cultural shock upon their re-entry. We observe the role of the category of “home” in the process of returning and the dimensions that are associated with it. In addition, we are interested in what creates the feeling of being “home again” in its positive and negative connotations. We analyse the four overlapping and interactive dimensions of home: the spatial, temporal, emotional and rational ones, which we support with the results of field research. The research was made on the basis of interviews with young people in Slovakia
