Diaspora vs transnational: approaches to migration between online and offline

Starting from the analysis of the changes that society has undergone in recent decades, mainly related to world globalization, the emergence of new means of communication and new information technologies, the elimination of distance through the performance of means of transport, it is impossible not to focus our attention on the high rate of nomadism of contemporary society. The special protagonists of our time such as television, mobile phones, computers, immerse each of us in a global cultural flow, in which space expands and shrinks, because every place can be reached within a few hours of flight and time it turns into a historical present, which allows us to live the experience of simultaneity, so that it is no longer necessary to be physically present in order to participate in the events. The hybrid environment constitutes and shapes contemporaneity, determining the overlapping of different spaces, individual and collective, public and private, in work, leisure, study. Moreover, the dissemination of communication tools, capable of transmitting and producing deterritorialized representations of the self, reflects what seem to be the main interpretations of contemporaneity: the expansion of human mobility and the experience of simultaneity.
