Abstract
In late modern societies characterized by increasing mobility and individualization, temporary living and working arrangements are no longer a rare phenomenon. In many life biographies, temporary and multi-local periods, with more than one place of residence, have become common. This paper adopts a life course perspective to explore how temporary experiences influence individuals’ perceptions of their current multi-local arrangements and future aspirations. Moreover it investigates how multi-local residents perceive and realize home in their life course. Based on biographical interviews with multi-local residents in two German cities, Frankfurt am Main and Leipzig, this study aims to deepen our understanding of multi-local living arrangement from a life course perspective and to examine its implications on the processuality of home.
