The paper explores the multiple ways in which visits affect the understanding of home for the Turkish–German second generation who have relocated to Turkey. Based on thematic–narrative analysis of 116 life-story interviews with second-generation ‘returnees’ in five regions of Turkey, three types of visits are identified: (i) family visits to Turkey whilst growing up in Germany; (ii) visits to Germany after the second generation has ‘returned’ to Turkey; (iii) visits to Turkey by the second generation's Germany-residing relatives and friends. Each type has different meanings for the visitors and the visited, creating fluid reflections on the meaning of home, which, especially for the second-generation ‘returnees’, tends to become fractured. Constantly comparing their two home(-land)s since childhood, they often simultaneously feel both ‘here’ and ‘there’ as a result of changing attachments and a mix of positive and negative experiences in both locales with their families, friends and the dominant others.

破碎家庭之间的跨国实践：第二代土耳其-德国移民的探访和被探访经历

该论文探讨了访问影响移居土耳其的土耳其-德国第二代对家的理解的多种方式。根据对土耳其五个地区的第二代“海归”的 116 次生活故事访谈的主题-叙事分析，确定了三种类型的访问：(i) 在德国长大的同时前往土耳其的家庭访问；(ii) 第二代“返回”土耳其后访问德国；(iii) 第二代旅德亲友访问土耳其。每种类型对来访者和被访者都有不同的意义，对家的意义产生了流畅的反映，尤其是对于第二代“海归”来说，往往会变得支离破碎。从小就不断比较自己的两个家（地），
