e-Diasporas Atlas Exploration and Cartography of Diasporas in Digital Networks

چکیده
Historically, the emergence of e-diasporas occurred in tandem with the diffusion of the Internet and the development of multiple online public services. At the end of the 1990s, a number of institutions joined forces with the new “e”-technologies (eadministration, e-democracy, e-education, e-healthcare, e-culture, e-tourism), which gave rise to the first presence on the Web of associations run by migrant populations. If the earliest websites were produced by IT professionals, we soon saw the diffusion of the Web in all of the diasporic communities and at all levels. The last ten years witnessed, in these communities, the use of both Webs 1.0 and 2.0 (blogs), as well as the widespread appropriation of the various social-networking platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).
