Ibáñez Angulo, Mónica In this essay I look into the different practices developed by transnational migrants, especially Bulgarians living in Spain, in order to represent themselves and to represent the world. Beginning with a definition of the process of representation and building upon De Certeau and Bourdieu’s theories on the everyday practice, I analyze the different paradigms that inspire these representations: from a ‘cultural logic’, emphasizing belonging to a cultural (usually national) community, or from a ‘political logic’, emphasizing belonging to a citizens’ community. Moreover, by looking at the different localities and temporalities in which these representations are produced, distributed and consumed, I analyze the different dimensions of belonging to and participation into a cultural and a citizens’ community. The essay also shows the ways in which local and transnational media connect global events with local issues and suggests that in our current world global macro-processes and local micro-processes can no longer be located in a modern geography of nation-states but rather in a transnational unbounded space. 2024-01-23 2024-01-23 2012 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 0324-1572 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/8444 bgr Sociological Problems. 2012, V. 44, n. 1-2, p. 352-373 https://www.ceeol.com/search/journal-detail?id=760 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess Bulgarian Academy of Science.
