Transnationalism and internationalism: Revival of the terms

The article is a review of the book “Living in Two Worlds”: Rethinking Transnationalism and Translocality (Moscow: NLO; 2020. 259 p.). The book was one of the results of the research project “Transnational and translocal aspects of migration in contemporary Russia” conducted at the European University of Saint Petersburg in 2015-2017 with the support of the Russian Science Foundation. The review convincingly shows that the authors of this scientific monograph really succeeded in rethinking the complex social phenomena behind the sociological terms ‘transnational migration’ and ‘translocal migration’. The author of the review tries to answer the questions about reasons for the introduction of these terms into the theoretical scientific discourse and about directions the articles suggest for their rethinking.
