Migrants cosmopolites connectés ? Réseaux diasporiques transnationaux ? Nationalismes à distance ? Empowerment en ligne ? La question des diasporas et de leur rapport aux technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) intéresse de plus en plus la recherche ces dernières années. S'inspirant notamment de la sociologie des champs et des travaux de Pierre Bourdieu sur l'habitus, Angeliki Monnier revient sur ces interrogations. À partir de l'étude comparative de deux groupes de migrants grecs et français opérant sur un site de réseautage professionnel, elle montre que l'usage des TIC doit aussi être appréhendé sous l'angle des dispositions socioculturelles des usagers. Loin des stéréotypes qu'un tel postulat pourrait impliquer, l'auteure met en lumière le lien subtil qui existe entre les structures macrosociales, l'actualité politico-médiatique (notamment celle de la crise grecque, dans le cas étudié) et les caractéristiques du dispositif technique.

How is the internet transforming the relationships between citizens and states? What happens to politics when international migration is coupled with digital media, making it easy for people to be politically active in a nation from outside its borders? In Nation as Network, Victoria Bernal creatively combines media studies, ethnography, and African studies to explore this new political paradigm through a striking analysis of how Eritreans in diaspora have used the internet to shape the course of Eritrean history. Bernal argues that Benedict Anderson’s famous concept of nations as “imagined communities” must now be rethought because diasporas and information technologies have transformed the ways nations are sustained and challenged. She traces the development of Eritrean diaspora websites over two turbulent decades that saw the Eritrean state grow ever more tyrannical. Through Eritreans’ own words in posts and debates, she reveals how new subjectivities are formed and political action is galvanized online. She suggests that “infopolitics”—struggles over the management of information—make politics in the 21st century distinct, and she analyzes the innovative ways Eritreans deploy the internet to support and subvert state power. Nation as Network is a unique and compelling work that advances our understanding of the political significance of digital media.
