Although movement of people is of prime concern in many studies, this is but one
aspect of translocality. The concept also refers to material flows, such as those of remittances
(Long 2008) and goods (Verne 2012), and symbolic flows such as movements of styles, ideas,
images and symbols (Lange and Büttner 2010; Ma 2002; Reetz 2010). One aspect of this
latter dimension of translocality is the visualisation and imagining of linkages between places,
what Brickell and Datta (2011a, p. 18) refer to as “translocal imagination.”
