(2016) The digital transformation of the public sphere, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
Elisa Serafinelli finds that the use of smart mobile devices in combination with the practice of photo sharing provides emerging practices offering insights into the current dynamics of the social use of mobile technologies and visualities within diasporic contexts. Photo sharing provides a stimulus that actively shapes contemporary daily experiences of transnational migration. On social media platforms migrants emphasise the diasporic condition, sharing images that exhibit an alternation between new different visions (UK) and nostalgic scenarios (Italian food and events).
