REPRESENTATIONS OF ONLINE AND OFFLINE COMMUNICATION PRACTICES OF A DIASPORIC COMMUNITY: THE CASE OF THE ROMANIAN DIASPORA

Summary/Abstract: This study was carried out in the context of the migratory phenomenon of the Romanian population, which has seen a marked increase in recent years. The theoretical anchoring of the research lies, on the one hand, in the theoretical approaches that deal with the relationships between the concept of diaspora and the diaspora as a social phenomenon and category of practices and, on the other hand, on the theoretical foundations of theories of representations. Starting with the research question, through which we intended to identify the most widespread practices of online communication of the Romanian diaspora, which contribute to the preservation of the cultural identity of the country of origin, as well as to the adaptation of the new socio-cultural environment of life, this study proposes an analysis of a set of data consisting of the responses of 899 members of the Romanian diaspora from 43 countries all over the world, collected between May and October 2019. This analysis helped to identify representations of online and offline communication practices of the Romanian diaspora.
