TIC et parrainage dans les mouvements militants de défense des sans-papiers en France

Abstract

This article deals with uses of the Internet – in particular discussion lists – in the Education Without Borders Network (Réseau Éducation sans Frontières, RESF), a network dedicated to supporting illegal migrants (« sans-papiers »). These uses are closely connected to the kind of activism at work within RESF, a solidarity activism based on sponsorship and which enables a bottom-up integration of the « sans-papiers ». Finally, this prevalence of support raises the issue of the relation between ICT and politics of representation.
