Usos sociais das TICs em dinâmicas de transnacionalismo e comunicação migrante em rede: uma aproximação à diáspora senegalesa no sul do Brasil

Media use and appropriation in the experiences of LGBTIQ+ immigrants and refugees in the city of Barcelona

“…These complexities lead us to consider that migrations are highly permeated by the media and its multiple technological mediations. The uses and appropriations of ICTs, therefore, remain as a backdrop for the geographical dispersions of subjects and communities today, incorporating their undeniable diversity (Brignol, 2015; Cogo; ElHajji; Huertas, 2012; Santamaría-Lorenzo, 2005; Retis, 2018; Theodoro; Cogo, 2019). The sociocommunicabilities included in the diasporic context that we see intensifying generate experiences strictly mediated by tekné, which resignify themselves in everyday life.…”

“…Social networking websites are essential to contemporary migratory flows precisely because of their mediation capacity (Brignol, 2015). They converge with a broader logic of transnational social networks, and their uses and appropriations can be seen in the construction of the migratory project (as in the case of Ariel's countrymen, who request information from a group of immigrants on Facebook), in the process of adaptation to the country of destination, and in maintaining links with the country of origin (Cogo; ElHajji; Huertas, 2012; Retis, 2018).…”

“…The study of the logics of communication in migratory networks in a context of changes in the worldwide migration phenomenon has brought new perceptions about the relations between media, ICTs and human mobility in contemporary times (Brignol, 2015;ElHajji;Huertas, 2012;Retis, 2018;Ros, 2010). What stands out most in this process are the social uses and appropriations of the media by immigrants and refugees, how it was possible to verify in the case of the LGBTIQ+ subjects interviewed.…”

“…In light of this situation, the dynamic and intercultural roles that media assume in contemporary times are important factors to be taken into account, since they permeate everyday life and are fundamental to the construction of spaces of interaction (Silverstone, 2010). Consequently, migrations (including those of LGBTIQ+ subjects) are crossed by multiple mediations, involved, for example, in the provision of representations, in the formation of public opinion, in the establishment and/or maintenance of social networks (local, national, inter and transnational), and even demands for rights and citizenship (Alencar, 2017;Brignol, 2015;Retis, 2018;Ros, 2010;Szulc, 2019).…”
