The study focuses on highly skilled migrants, specifically, Swiss in Israel and Israelis in Switzerland. The attention of the study lies on the significance of migration within (multi-sited) biographies. Focusing on twelve main protagonist, Helene Mona Oberle analyses and discusses the perceptions, interpretations, and varying uses of emotions in migration-narratives. Three main themes are presented: first, feelings of (non-)belonging to places and specific groups; second, past, present and future in the form of nostalgia, irritation and expectation; third, notions of “going abroad” as a feeling of accomplishment emerging within the narratives. Overall, the protagonists construct a self which is flexibly adapted to the empirical reality of globalization, experiences struggles and tensions yet creates meaningful connections to specific places and times through the use of various emotions.
