The homeland belongs to other: A narrative of the willing to Migration

Following the importance of studying migration as a possibility in recent migration literature, concepts such as "migration willing" and "staying willing" have been at the center of attention. Migration aspiration is defined as the priority of migration over staying, which is built into the biographical narratives of the potential migrantsIn this study, we have tried to interpret the information obtained from the narrative interview with some respondents by using the thematic narrative analysis. We selected the participants in a purposive sampling from young people between 20- 40 years old living in Isfahan. The findings show that the themes of willing to leave the homeland in the biographical narrative of the participants can be interpreted in three parts: turning points, anternarratives and proleptic reasons. Turning points are often formed by the narrator's interpretation of a specific action or happening in the past of his biography, which was the decisive moment of his decision to migrate; These actions and happenings drive his aspiration and lead to other anternarratives or reasons for migration. anternarratives are other reasons for those who aspire to leave their homeland, which originate from rethinking their personal experiences or knowledge and awareness of the context in which they live. Proleptic reasons are also related to predicting the future of life in the destination country or the future of life in the homeland in the continuation of the practical rationality of those who aspire to migrate.
