Communication, migration and gender: transnational families, activisms and ICT uses

Abstract

From a brief background of studies around the interfaces between transnational migrations and gender, as well as the place of communication in these studies, we propose to place and discuss two axes of research focusing on gender, migration, consumption and uses of Information and Communication Technologies (TICs). A first axis refers to gender experiences related to the consumption and use of technologies in the processes of constitution and interaction of the so-called transnational families; a second axis refers to the appropriation of technologies in action and projects of mobilization and activisms in which gender and migration are articulated. Proposals of reflections are based on literature and research results already conducted on the subject, especially those oriented to the study of Latin American migrations.
