Médias et migration. Territorialités connectées et ancrages au sein de la communauté haïtienne de Montréal (1960-2016)

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the “mobility turn” and, more precisely, the use of media and information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs), are reshaping the territoriality of migration. Through the concepts of relational space and multiple attachments, it is a matter of examining the relational modes between distant places enabled by ICTs and how they are reshaping the sense of belonging for people of Haitian origin. Through the diachronic study of media practices within the Haitian community in Montreal, from anti-Duvalier exiles to a transnational community, it will query how media sustain the creation of connected belongings and attachments.
