“Now I am in love with the city”. Emotions, affects and place-making practices of international migrants in Zagreb
This paper will analyse the roles of emotions, senses and affects in the ways international migrants encounter and perceive Zagreb as the city they currently live in. I will base my analysis on the semi-structured interviews conducted with international middle-class migrants in Zagreb, as well as on the material gathered through social media and other web sources. The analysis will be situated within the framework of research which emphasises emotional aspects of migratory experience and the one which focuses on emotions and affects in place-making practices. I will pay attention to the roles of emotions in migrants’ trajectories (e.g. how they explain their decisions to migrate, how they situate themselves in the new social and cultural surroundings), and in their place-making practices (e.g. how they construct the meanings of the city, what characteristics of the city they see as emotionally enriching and valuable, how they describe their belonging). Furthermore, I will be interested in the narratives in which international migrants compare Zagreb with other places, and in the roles that emotional and affective aspects have in those comparisons. Finally, I will explore the connections between the emotional lives of migrants and the concepts of quality of life and well-being.
