The Argentinean migration in the print media and the internet forums: the distinct construction of collectives of identification

Abstract

In this paper we develop the theoretical approach to analyze the construction of collectives of identification made by newspapers and Internet forums, as crucial spaces in order to study the contemporary migration processes, especially the phenomenon of the Argentinian recent migration during 2001-2005. To acknowledge their importance as media, in which migration becomes significant, there is a proposal for analyzing both: as formers of newspapers readers, and as a privileged interface of personal and online expressions for the forums, existing in a society increasingly mediatized.
