These platforms have created a new communicative environment, which the authors call 'polymedia'. This book draws on a long-term ethnographic study of prolonged separation between transnational Filipino migrant mothers in the UK and their left-behind children in the Philippines. It is unique in the way it provides firstly a theory of the new experience of media itself, as polymedia. This is complemented by a theory of relationships based on an analysis of mother-child communication. The authors seek to go beyond both media studies and anthropology to construct a new theory of mediated relationships that combines findings from both disciplines and has considerable importance for the social sciences more generally."--Publisher's description.Foreign workers, PhilippineFamily relationshipsGreat BritainWomen foreign workersFamily relationshipsGreat BritainChildren of foreign workersFamily relationshipsPhilippinesCommunication in familiesPhilippinesInterpersonal communicationTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsPhilippinesCommunication, InternationalTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsPhilippinesElectronic books.Foreign workers, PhilippineFamily relationshipsWomen foreign workersFamily relationshipsChildren of foreign workersFamily relationshipsCommunication in familiesInterpersonal communicationTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsCommunication, InternationalTechnological innovationsSocial aspects331.40941Madianou Mirca.897459Miller Daniel1954-118348MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457674503321Migration and new media2005173UNINA
