| Summary/Abstract |
The media impact on the process of ethnic identification, particularly with regard to how ethnic minority individuals reflect upon their ethnic origin, is the focus of this article. We analyse the relationships media consumption has with the identity-reflection process using biographical narratives of individuals from two ethnic minority communities in Eastern European countries: Slovaks in Hungary and Hungarians in Slovakia, focusing on how media consumption channels ethnic self-identification of minority individuals in terms of their affinity with their country of origin, their country of residence, and with Europe as a whole. Ethnic minorities in these two countries have been intensely affected by political changes of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We include analysis of some quantitative data and biographical narratives of ethnic minority individuals from the ENRI-EAST project, with close analysis of six biographical cases.

| Summary/Abstract |
Drawing on original data from a life-history survey and biographical interviews, this research investigates the patterns and meanings of migration among educated young adults from peripheral China. A fourfold typology of spatial mobility is developed from the divergent migration pathways from home to university and onward to the current places of residence: move-out, move-down, move-up, and reentry. The finding that the migration process of educated young people is complex and dynamic calls for a reconceptualization of migration as an ongoing process rather than a one-off event. Using four case study examples, the article illustrates how identities, throughout the life course, are shaped by place and are articulated in the dialectic between mobility and immobility. In doing so, the article corroborates the idea that identity cannot be fully understood without reference to mobility and place.
