Dual identities? Transnational identities? Psychological acculturation research in dialogue with discursive approaches to the identity work of individuals with a migration background

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

This article’s key aim is to bring discursive insights on transnational identities together with the ‘identity strategies’-framework from psychological acculturation research. To do so, we discursively analyse the negotiation of identities in interviews of Belgian women with Turkish/Moroccan migration backgrounds. Our findings indicate that interviewees negotiate nuanced national and ethnic identities, highlighting the fluidity of identity often foregrounded in discursive research on transnational identities. We also propose adopting terminology from psychological acculturation research into discursive analyses as this might enable researchers to pinpoint the various shifts in discursive work that is now often covered by the term ‘transnational identities’.
