Başka dilde özne olmak: Göç üzerine Lacanyen psikanalitik bir bakış

This study explores the migration experiences of young adults who moved from Turkey to Germany and reported emotional difficulties related to migration, within a Lacanian psychoanalytic framework. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed to examine participants‟ lived experiences in depth. Semistructured interviews conducted with seven participants yielded five superordinate themes: (1) Dream or a Nightmare?: Dreams as a Sign of Fear of (Not) Leaving & Staying, (2) The Concept of Self: From m(Other)land to Other-land, (3) Between Two Gazes: The Perspectives of the Guest and the Host, (4) ―Be-longing‖ to Where?: Migration as an Experience of Loss of Homely Feeling, and (5) Being Subject in Other Language: Migration as an Experience of Speaking Other Language. The results suggest that migration unsettles the subject‟s relation to the Other. The findings are discussed in relation to Lacanian theory, with particular attention to implications for clinical practice.
