这篇文章探讨了在澳大利亚的克罗地亚移民与Medjugorje（波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那）天主教显灵地点的关系，这是一个朝圣目的地，据称自20世纪80年代初以来，圣母玛丽一直出现在一群克罗地亚人面前。它考察了当移民进行双重旅程“回家”和默主哥耶时，民族和精神复兴的复杂经历。从这项研究中出现的是一个复杂的动态之间的民族特异性和普遍性的阅读Medjugorje和他们的相互联系与世俗和神圣层面的家访。对于一些老年移徙者，特别是那些无家可归的人，以及那些回家使他们越来越意识到自己是故国游客的人来说，默主哥耶成为一个想象中的替代家园。这个地方让他们能够享受精神上的宁静，沉浸在当地人乐于提供的克罗地亚表面的宁静中，作为他们为游客服务的一部分。因此，默主哥耶代表了一个地方，它驯化了他们，为他们的归属感提供了一个停泊点，并使他们能够表达他们的散居品牌。
This article explores ways in which Croatian migrants in Australia relate to the Catholic apparitional site in Medjugorje (Bosnia and Herzegovina), a pilgrimage destination where the Virgin Mary has allegedly been appearing to a group of Croatians since the early 1980s. It examines the complex experience of ethnic and spiritual rejuvenation that ensues when migrants undertake a double journey ‘home’ and to Medjugorje. What emerged from this research is a complex dynamic between ethno-specific and universalist readings of Medjugorje and their interconnectedness with secular and sacred dimensions of home visits. For some older migrants, particularly those who have no home to go back to, and for those whose visit home makes them increasingly aware that they are tourists in their old homeland, Medjugorje becomes an imagined surrogate home. This place allows them to partake in spiritual peace, and immerse themselves in the superficial Croatian domesticity that locals are happy to provide as part of their servicing of tourists. Medjugorje thus represents a place which domesticates and provides an anchorage for their sense of belonging and allows them to express their diasporic brand of Croatianism.
