Abstract [en]

The chapter examines the relocation decisions and post-relocation lives of the German-born second generation of Turkish parentage who have settled in Antalya, a tourist city on the south coast of Turkey. The analysis employs a range of concepts, including translocal geographies, memory entrepreneurship, nostalgia, home and belonging, to explore the shifting livelihoods, positionalities and senses of self, including self-development, of a sample of 30 research participants interviewed in and around Antalya in 2014. All participants were involved in the tourist industry, as owners, managers or employees working in shops, hotels, catering establishments, travel agents or as tourist guides. However, relocating to Antalya is not only about work and income. Participants also value this place as a cosmopolitan setting where they can lead ‘alternative’ and independent lives which they regard as more personally fulfilling, based on a flexible work–life balance, intense sociability and an international and non-judgemental social atmosphere.
