| Abstract: | This thesis analyzes motives and experiences of German-speaking migrants to Taiwan informed by the framework of lifestyle migration. Using a narrative-based life history approach and by employing bricolage with data from in-depth interviews, Facebook postings and observation, the focus of this study is to illuminate motivations and experiences of freedom in migration in terms of meaning-making of belonging to Taiwan and to home as the country of origin, present in the life stories of two different generations of four German-speaking migrants in Taiwan. Findings suggest that lifestyle migration is not bound to the second modernity but has taken place already before, when alienation through being an outsider in the country of origin triggered reflexivity, which was limited by social positioning of gender and sexuality. This caused fractured belonging, a gradual process rather than a ‘watershed moment’ that initiated migration. Lifestyle migration shows to be useful as a framework, however limited as a distinct category, because it is often interconnected with different forms of migration such as marriage migration and student migration. In their motivations they emphasized on ‘Fernweh’ - a yearning to be far away and not on the destination Taiwan, which later on offered opportunities, which made them stay. Feelings of freedom when arriving in Taiwan caused an instant feeling of belonging. The older generation narrated stories of new beginnings and the absence of restrictions, while the younger generation emphasized on being self-determined and autonomous. Over time this freedom and belonging had to be negotiated in terms of integration, connecting with locals and other foreigners and privilege as the white foreigner. Reactions to their privilege varied widely between participants but also between situations oscillating between feeling hindered to connect in terms of belonging and feeling special and unique by being treated friendly and welcomed. Participants narrate feelings of being a tourist when visiting home. By either reinforcing and even ‘celebrating’ feelings of non-belonging they emphasize belonging to Taiwan or relocating the ‘here’ to recreate the ‘there’ needed for the feeling of ‘Fernweh’, showing that ‘Heimat’ (home) is essential to link the known and the unknown, the past and the future, one’s former life to the present live and the trueself. |
