| Abstract: | Globalization and modernization processes are paths to success, but at the same time, they are also leading to a refocusing on roots and identity. People’s origins are becoming defamiliarized as quickly as their living conditions and regional reference points are changing. As a result, they start to search for Heimat - meaning homeland with the connotation of cultural roots. Heimat is not the counterpart of globalization, but its necessary lynchpin. Internal life parameters, such as personal philosophy and religion, play an important role in the analysis of Heimat. [extract] |
