What the paper says
Abstract Migration is part of the “global movement potential” ( Albrow, 2014 , p. 14) that is currently shaping social change worldwide. This article focuses on the narratives and narrative practices of migrants. It is assumed that narrative is an attempt to come to terms with migration experiences. The research interest focuses on the what, how and why of migrant narratives and the role of digital media in everyday storytelling. The empirical basis is the study “Transnational living”, in which people from various African, Arab and European countries were included. The research methods are committed to an understanding-interpretative paradigm. Discourses from migration, narration and mediatization research form the theoretical framework of the analysis.
