Abstract
The article addresses the debates on transnational communities and the construction of global identities by reflecting upon personal narratives of frequent work-related mobility. It explores the process of “cosmopolitanization” through narratives of self-transformation during perpetual assignments of expatriation and repatriation. The discussion is based on autobiographical evidence, namely, personal diary vignettes, the analysis of which reveals the importance of emplacement and translocality in the reconstitution of identity during transient inhabitation of places. The article informs the studies on global or mobile careers exploring some aspects of a translocal identity in the context of practiced cosmopolitanism.
