Wow, your answer is not revelant to the concept '' Belonging'' which you defines yourself so here is the reminder.

So just stick with the concept '' belonging'' according to your statement, because this is where you mix up with idenitties, disapora, territorials. My arugments just based on the concept of belonging nothing else, cos I know what I'm speaking. The concept you used is wrong, although it make sense because in social sceince everything is just a matter of twisting and turning nothing is real. That is why academical theoretical framework is important cos its not someone bla bla. without correct defination..

And this is wrong, Belonging is where, when a Swedish, Norwegians, or Danish lives in another country outside of the country of their orgin its called '' Diaspora identities '' Swedish lives in Minnesota has belonging and its a Swedish Diaspora. You just used the concept in a wrong way. Belongings means returning to your home of orgin, You longs to return to your roots. And here is a citation from the predominant post-colonial theoretician this is Avtar Brah her citation you could easily find in googles your favorite search engine.

The Jewish experience continued to influence Safran’s view of the vital importance of homeland in defining one of the essential characteristics of diaspora

They, or their ancestors, have been dispersed from an original ‘centre’ to two or

more foreign regions;

· they retain a collective memory, vision or myth about their original homeland

including its location, history and achievements;

· they believe they are not – and perhaps can never be – fully accepted in their host
societies and so remain partly separate;
· their ancestral home is idealized and it is thought that, when conditions are
favourable, either they, or their descendants should return;
· they believe all members of the diaspora should be committed to the maintenance
or restoration of the original homeland and to its safety and prosperity; and
· they continue in various ways to relate to that homeland and their ethnocommunal
consciousness and solidarity are in an important way defined by the existence of
such a relationship

And you might want to see how the concept '' Belonging'' in this question

''

The country of origin is commonly referred to as ‘home’ or ‘homeland’, and it has long been considered the ultimate wish of all

displaced people to return to where they came from and forever belong.''

The author used the concept in another way

What are the notions of Afghans in Germany regarding home and belonging, and how do these relate to their attitudes towards returning to Afghanistan

My only argument is you used the concept ''Belonging '' not in a accurate sense as it says academic research. And the concept '' Belonging'' only applies when the person is no longer living on his/her home orgins their identities seen as diaspora.

Well you might not, however I'm not going to convince you with another reply because what I told you is proven theories. Sometimes its hard to takes comments on a girl which is understated then its wrong to underestimate someone knowledge just because I'm a girl.

Well search under her name you might find it wikipedia but as you know most academic literatures is not published free, I've to log at my electronic lib to access imformation regarding this topic.

Even your answer rather strange Do you have mutual belonging to Spanish in Argentina or even Chile thus you speaking Spanish? You're using the concept in the wrong way that is my arguments, of cos in day to day coversation you can say mutual belongings but its wrong to apply it when all the Scandinavian are from different territorial SPEAKING different languages, if you go the north of Sweden none understand the Southern acent, there is no mutual defination . You using you're concept without any concert definitions. But if you still think you're right, then what I can say, it's just a matter of understanding.
