在2000年代，将归属感作为一个关键焦点和研究的中心概念的研究显著增加。本文探讨了归属感作为一个学术概念的维度。调查是基于对学术期刊上发表的文章进行定性内容分析，涵盖了大量不同学科。本文提出并回答了以下研究问题：如何归属的理解和使用在当代研究？这个概念给学术讨论带来了什么附加值？在分析中，五个主题的概念化归属-空间性，交叉性，多样性，物质性和非归属-被确定。在介绍了主题之后，本文探讨了它们的交叉维度，例如对归属感的政治，情感和情感维度的强调，并讨论了从数据中得出的关键观察结果，例如对少数民族和弱势群体的研究比例很大。对数据的分析表明，通过选择使用归属感的概念，学者们试图强调各种社会和空间依恋的流动性，不固定性和过程性。
Studies framing belonging as a key focus and a central concept of research have increased significantly in the 2000s. This article explores the dimensions of belonging as a scholarly concept. The investigation is based on a qualitative content analysis of articles published in academic journals covering a large number of different disciplines. The article poses and answers the following research questions: How is belonging understood and used in contemporary research? What added value does the concept bring to scholarly discussions? In the analysis, five topoi of conceptualizing belonging - spatiality, intersectionality, multiplicity, materiality, and non-belonging - were identified. After introducing the topoi, the article explores their cross-cutting dimensions, such as the emphasis on the political, emotional, and affective dimensions of belonging, and discusses key observations made from the data, such as the substantial proportion of research on minorities and vulnerable people. The analysis of the data suggests that by choosing to use the concept of belonging, scholars seek to emphasize the fluid, unfixed, and processual nature of diverse social and spatial attachments.
