Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines Tibetan migrants’ well-being by exploring their understanding of home and how they remake its meaning in the middle of a migration into intensive urbanization in China. We look at outmigration as a language-learning and -imposing process. Grounding Heidegger’s notion of home-in-language in Tibet and its people, this study found: (a) Tibetan language speaks of a geo-cultural home; (b) a shared language and language alienation both bring home near, even as it is still far away in reality; and (c) language remakes home as auspicious connections arises among Heidegger’s four elements of earth, sky, mortals and divinities.
