In this review, we critically engage with these questions. We start by tracing the conceptual
relation between transnationalism and translocality and explore how the latter serves to
overcome some of the conceptual weaknesses of the former. We then turn to the current
literature in order to determine the similarities and differences between the various current
definitions of translocalism and to explore two central dimensions of the concept: mobility
and place. We briefly review research areas where the concept has been applied so far and
by extension postulate that the concept should be considered a research perspective in its
own right (rather than merely an extension of transnationalism). We conclude by pointing
out some of the concept’s potentialities.
