Sodobne identifikacije v primežu transnacionalnih tokov: Transnacionalna družbena polja in identifikacije »Ryanair generacije« irskih migrantov

The article focuses on certain issues related to contemporary identifications in the transnational social sphere which are a result of reflexive considerations of the individual’s position in the social environment, but also simultaneously depend on particular predispositions shaped through ongoing interactions between traditions, worldviews and values of the individual’s context of origin. The main aim is to demonstrate the potential of the concept of social fields in its transnational variant and connect theargumentation to the Irish transnational diaspora. The paper draws insight from in-depth interviewswhich were obtained using the ethnographic method. The concept of the transnational social field is capable of shedding light on the dynamics of identity constructions which in the transnational sphere are more specific. A substantial role is played by the individual’s ability to access to various types of capital. Further, the transition between particular fields enables more intensive reflexivity and a consideration of an individual’s actions and also of the institutional frames in which they are embedded. Transnational layers of identities can thus take on instrumental meanings and allow individuals to have greater control over their lives and more easily achieve their goals.V članku se osredotočamo na sodobne identifikacije v transnacionalnem kontekstu, ki odražajo določene spremembe družbenega reda. Identifikacije razumemo kot proces, ki temelji tako na refleksivnih zamišljanjih posameznikov v odnosu z družbenim okoljem kot tudi na določenih dispozicijah, ki se oblikujejo z nenehnimi interakcijami med tradicijami, nazori in vrednotami. Dialektični odnos med obema poloma identifikacijskih procesov obravnavamo skozi perspektivo družbenih polj, prenešenih na transnacionalno sfero. Na podlagi zgodb irskih migrantov, pridobljenih z etnografsko metodo, želimo prikazati, kako prehajanje meja (tako fizičnih kot zamišljenih), transnacionalne družbene interakcije in institucije ter življenjske izkušnje posameznikov v odnosu s preteklostjo ter z nacionalnim in lokalnimo koljem vplivajo na razumevanje sebstva in oblikovanje identitet. Pomembno vlogo igrajo posameznikove možnosti dostopa do različnih virov. Prav tako prikažemo vlogo transnacionalnega habitusa, ki omogoča intenzivnejšo refleksivnost in presojanje posameznikovih dejanj ter tudi institucionalnih okvirov, v katere je umeščen
