[unfortunately no texts of this french magazine, which has appeared recently and which will be presented on mercredi 11 décembre 2002 à 20h au Web Bar (32 rue de Picardie, 75003 Paris - M°Temple) are available online -- it makes no sense to check out the domain MIGRANTS.COM which is just for sale: "the minimum quoted price will be be at least $688, and could be as much as $10,000." /fls] From: Fanny Servole <fanny.servole@adri.fr> Announcing the publication of the journal HOMMES & MIGRATIONS, issue n° 1240, entitled: Migrants.com Mobile phones and the internet cannot in themselves provide solutions to the North-South gap, nor to all the problems posed by borders and human mobility. They have, however, already revolutionized the ways in which immigrants communicate, thanks to their global reach and their direct, user-friendly access. New websites are created by and for immigrants every day. Their purposes are manifold: they can be community-based, transnational, and oriented toward mutual aid; they can aim at improving intercultural dialogue, favoring integration or advancing political struggles; or to provide information to broad publics. As for mobile phones, they can be used by activists who defend illegal immigrants, but migrants can also use them to communicate with their families back home, conduct informal businesses, or simply to exist socially when one is without a fixed address, a job, or legal recognition. • Dana Diminescu, Migrations and the emergence of new technologies • Myria Georgiou, On-line diasporas : a concrete experience of transnationalism • Emmanuel Ma Mung, Defining diasporas on the Internet • Renaud Sagot, Kabyles on the Net • Ramón Flecha et F.
