Migration, Social Technologies, TransmigrationAbstract
We analyze the relationship between the phenomenon of oscillating migratory return and the use of social technology tools such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and others as the main communication resources currently used by migrants. We also analyze the profile of these information technology users, as well as their access to this new technology compared to how communication between migrants and their families used to be. Our goal is to understand how the coronavirus pandemic and the prohibition of physical relocation has boosted the use of these information technologies, which has led to new forms of communication, expanding and redefining the concept of transmigration. In this direction, the present work emphasizes return, transmigration and the problem of the so-called intermittent return as opposed to the definitive return, and how this intermittent return obeys a specific context in the use and development of social technologies.
