Özet:

Compared to the pilgrimage of villagers in Turkey to Mecca and the journey of immigrant Turkish villagers in Europe to the villages where they were born, it can be claimed that these two journeys blur the boundaries between the "sacred" and "secular" categories, as in the hajj and migrant categories. As migrants and pilgrims cross the country's borders, scholars also must cross the boundaries of discipline. For these peasants, Mecca and their villages are the outside centers that give them a feeling of expatriate. The reasons for not settling there fully but visiting it when they can go, should be to ensure that this image in their minds does not disappear. So they will think that their place is not their own home, and they will always be able to keep alive in their minds where their first, real and final homes are. Delaney argues that this arduous journey to the homes of migrants, such as the pilgrimage of the villagers to Mecca, offers a symbolic model that implicitly structures the ritualistic and obligatory character and makes it understandable. She embarks on such a project, arguing that there may be some powerful key symbols that shape their imagination with different degrees of intelligibility and motivate the behavior of Muslims, rather than separate areas such as migration and pilgrimage, each with its own rhetoric and symbols.
