Summary/Abstract: This article looks at the nature of new communication technologies and the ways of mapping the substantial social and cultural changes of individuals and society influenced by new technologies. It seeks to identify how digital communication remakes traditional modes of communication and considers transnational social space s as a key concept for understanding the current dynamics of the process of migration. It also suggests the need to innovate and reinterpret a sense of community and identity as well as new arrangements of the social and the spatial in human life in general. The Croatian community in Australia will be used as an example for such questioning.
