Identidades migrantes en tiempo de crisis: narrativas digitales y mitos nacionales

Abstract

Abstract: Why today is the study of the migration issue, in an affective key, a signifi cant and perhaps underestimated research area in the field of communication? In the present article, this RQ will be addressed by linking it to the notion of “digital shared stories” and the current scholarship on narrative approach(es) in social media studies. This framework will prove to be beneficial for understanding digital migration stories from the perspective of migrants and host society, considering spatial “imaginary” a key concept. Finally, the main results of a digital ethnographic research on the topic —having Argentina as the cultural context of exploration— will be presented.
