Abstract

The article presents the main results of a study aimed at establishing the role of communication practices in sustaining family and emotional ties between migrants and their families. Family communication is studied in transnational households through semistructured interviews that identify the means by which migrants communicate with home, observing the uses, frequencies and possibilities these technical supports offer, as well as the importance of certain topics related to the content of the communication, identifying communicative aspects that establish an everyday reality and continuity in family and emotional relationships.

Keywords: Transnational family, family communication, international migration, information technologies, communication
