The text is based on the premise that from the aspect of visual communication, consumerism, and popular culture the concept of home reflects new views of the relation between the individual and the perception of space. Narratives focusing on home, recounted by Slovene and Irish return (or transnational) migrants, reveal an intricate wealth of notions of the self and of others. The central proposition suggests that in spite of globalization processes and transnational currents ideas about culturally and ethnically different spaces remain unshaken. The home, which can be a dwelling place, one's homeland, or a web of relations, is an important part of one's identification.
