Project summary
The project focuses on the Vojvodina Slovak community’s transformation from a predominantly territorial to a transnational one. Co-ethnic migrations of members of the community after 1990 took place in several waves. The community is scattered: some have remained in Serbia, some have been temporarily resident or permanently settled in Slovakia. An intensive flow has emerged of people, information, and various types of material objects between community members living in Slovakia, Serbia or other countries as well. This multifaceted phenomenon we explore in a multidisciplinary way, analyzing it in the historical context of individual waves of migration, as well as the political and institutional structures that make the process of transnationalization possible and within which it takes place, as well as transnational identifications, relationships, and practices present among community members. The country of their origin (Serbia) and the receiving country (Slovakia) represent one research field.
