Abstract

Povećavanjem intraeuropskih migracija i obiteljske mobilnosti, raste i broj bilociranih obitelji. Bilocirana migrantska obitelj definira se kao ona čiji su članovi fizički razdvojeni u dva (ili više) različitih područja, a usprkos tome uspostavljaju odnos i kontakt. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati i opisati doživljaj odrastanja u takvim bilociranim obiteljima iz perspektive djece. U tu se svrhu koristio kvalitativan istraživački pristup. Podaci su se dobili retrospektivnim narativnim intervjuiranjem šestero mladih odraslih osoba koje su imale iskustvo odrastanja u takvim obiteljima. Sadržaj intervjua obrađen je kvalitativnom analizom. Reflektirajući se na doživljaje iz djetinjstva, mladi većinom izražavaju stav kako sami ne bi htjeli biti bilocirani u budućnosti. Analiza podataka pokazala je bilociranost kao izuzetno kompleksan i dinamičan obiteljski status, koji zahtijeva pregovaranje, redovitu komunikaciju i fleksibilnost.
U radu su se otvorila i nova područja koja je potrebno istražiti. Buduća bi istraživanja mogla istražiti odnos bilociranosti i rodnih uloga u obiteljima. Također, otvaraju se i pitanja načina pružanja podrške, pogotovo one iz zajednice u vidu uređenja socijalnih politika. Uz navedeno, daljnjim bi se istraživanjima trebalo prikupiti informacije iz više različitih izvora, uključiti perspektivu ostalih članova obitelji, ali i perspektivu stručnjaka za socijalnu uključenost i skrb kako bi se prikupile nove informacije i perspektive.

Abstract (english)

The number of bilocated families grows with an increase of intra-European migrations and family mobility. Bilocated migrant families are defined as familial groups whose members are separated families whose members are separated physically between two or more nation-states but maintain close ties and relationships. This paper aimed to examine and describe the experience of growing up in bilocated families from children's perspectives. A qualitative research approach was used for this purpose. The data was gathered through retrospective narrative interviews. Six young adults were asked to describe their experiences while growing up in this particular family structure. The content of an interview is processed by qualitative analysis. Reflecting on events that occurred in their childhood, young people chiefly expressed an attitude in which they do not want to be bilocated in the future. Data analysis showed bilocation as an extremely complex and dynamic family status, which requires negotiation, regular communication, and flexibility.
This paper opens up new questions that need to be answered. Further research could explore gender practices in bilocated families. Also, in-depth exploration of community engagement would be beneficial, especially from the perspective of social policy, as an inclusive practice. Additionally, a more diverse sample including other family members and social welfare professionals would be useful in order to collect novel information and perspectives on the topic.
