There are different types of migration,however, new concepts and redefinitions of certain concepts are needed, becauseof the changing reasons for migration as well as various imaginings of theplaces and spaces in concrete and virtual terms. This paper coins the phrase’interhomeland migration’ as a type of migration through addressing how theconcept of homeland is constructed through affect, and who constitutes thismigrant type.The data, obtained from fieldwork executedwith those who identify themselves as Bosniaks (especially in Istanbul andnearby cities) since 2004 and with the Turkish-speaking people living in Bulgariabetween 2013 and 201,5 is assessed by the means of analyses of both thediscourses and various musical elements. In these examples, the affect ofhomeland is constituted by religion, flag, blood, land, especially fighting forthe sake of this land, vague and non-objective nationalist concepts, sharedhistorical and cultural background, such as musical values in addition to bornand grown lands. Interhomelands migrant type experiences the affects containingcontrasts all together such as feeling alike, feeling strange, feeling thebelonging. These affects cause to uncover the similarities on the one hand andon the contrary to underline the dissimilarities on the other hand.
