By tracing the stories and emotions that emerge through the objects with which migrants associate, it examines human–object relations in the experiences of Syrian migrants in Turkey. It offers a deep ethnographic account of their social and cultural life, mapping the emotional landscape of displacement. It shows how these materials articulate cultural categories such as family, homeland, faith, and home. In doing so, it demonstrates how objects instilled with meaning shape migrants’ identities and sense of belonging in the new place.
