Digital Diaspora: a New Conceptual Dimension
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to examine a new conceptual dimension imposed by contemporary experience. It seeks to explore the influence that media, the emergence of the internet, and the use of social networks have had on forming and articulating new digital diasporas. Although classic definitions of diaspora focused on terms of dispersion and uprooting, the digital diaspora heralds the creation of new forms of immediacy and proximity between those nationals who inhabit different geographical locations. The article analyzes the intersection between migrants’ everyday practices and the digital space, highlighting how the latter has transformed the dynamics of belonging, identity and solidarity within diasporic communities. Finally, the expansion of the concept of citizenship in the digital realm is addressed, where social networks play a central role in the construction of social capital and political empowerment of diasporas.
