Webdiásporas.br: migrations, ICTs and transnational identities in Brazil
Description The migration issue can no longer be grasped only in terms of absence and ruptures. Old diasporas and new immigrants now have sophisticated information and communication technologies (ICTs) that not only allow the maintenance and consolidation of identity and affective bonds with society and culture of origin, but also enable and encourage the construction of new cadres (ethnic, cultural, national, linguistic and/or confessional), both at the local and transnational levels. This project seeks to analyze precisely the new migratory dynamics of the contemporary world. It is worth mentioning that this research is being developed at LECC-PPGCOM/UFRJ and is linked to the research line of Media and Sociocultural Mediations. |
