Abstract
The purpose of the article is to discuss modern second homes in rural areas in Norway in relation to the concept of migration. The discussion is based on an elaboration of how second homes involve multiple mobilities and not just the physical mobility of the second home owners. Rather, three interconnected mobilities are found to be important concerning second homes in Norway, and these are labelled ‘Second homes as part of people's homes’, ‘The temporary presence of second home owners’, and ‘“Permanent” presence through material means and “connections at a distance”’. It is argued that such second homes should not be conceptualized as representative of a type of migration, but instead it is more appropriate to use the concept of circulation.
