ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the changing meanings of home involving media and communication technologies in the context of migration and diasporic cultures. In the context of migration, home' can have many connotations, stretching beyond domestic space to encompass a transnational range. The chapter identifies the range of media and communication technologies used by migrants to keep in touch, drawing attention to the polymediated nature of today's transnational communication. People and communities are connected to place through ideas of belonging, generated by emotions of attachment and expressions of identity. A vital feature of such multiple habitations is the use of media and communication technologies as resources to bridge the gaps between different places and ideas of home. Finally the chapter discusses the uses of media and communication technologies by migrant children in facilitating migrant families' engagement with media in their adopted home and by migrant parents in maintaining children's links with their home country.
