This chapter maps the diverse impacts of digital media use on transnational family members in the performance, embodiment, and negotiation of intimate family rituals. It particularly shows how the personalized use of both broadband-based or visual-based platforms and regular calls facilitate interactions and mediated co-presence as well as the maintenance of familial bonds beyond borders. Notably, it examines the underlying tensions experienced in mobilizing family rituals as reflected in contradictory experiences and affective surveillance. Communicative issues are typically shaped by the lack of access to a stable connectivity, a certain level of technological competency, as well as differing familial expectations and living conditions. In sum, the chapter outlines the benefits and ruptures of mediating ritualized domestic interactions in digital spaces.","PeriodicalId":215426,"journal":{"name":"(Im)mobile Homes","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128930219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter addresses this inquiry by opening the discussion through mapping the motivations behind the formation of a digital and transnational arrangement among dispersed family members. To begin with, it illustrates the journey of migration among transnational families in Melbourne, Australia. By analysing the mobilization of familial interactions via mobile devices and online platforms, it coins the conceptual term ‘zones of reterritorialized domesticity’, highlighting the liminal, networked, hybridized, and contradictory aspect of a transnational and digital home. This conception builds on unravelling how family norms and values, mobile platforms, and technological infrastructures shape the performance, embodiment, and negotiation of a home from afar. Ultimately, the chapter lays bare the foundation of interrogating the production of transnational homemaking in uneven mobile environments.","PeriodicalId":215426,"journal":{"name":"(Im)mobile Homes","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124414167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter unwraps the bittersweet moments of digital media use by migrants and their left-behind family members to enact intimate interactions during special family occasions. In the first instance, it showcases the joyful, creative, and customized moments embodied by transnational family members through the circulation of personalized messages and material gifts. However, it also exposes the frustrating experiences encountered by dispersed family members, as shaped by asymmetrical familial dynamics, economic status, uneven access, digital literacy, and technological parameters. Ultimately, this chapter opens a critical conversation on the paradoxical outcomes of the reliance of transnational family members on smartphones, social media, and mobile applications to reclaim and revive traditional and household celebrations in their efforts to sustain ties at a distance.","PeriodicalId":215426,"journal":{"name":"(Im)mobile Homes","volume":"321 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113997987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter investigates the diverse and personalized digital practices of transnational families in handling the consequences of natural calamities and family-based crises. As a start, it illustrates how dispersed family members use digital media technologies to enact different phases of addressing a typhoon in the Philippines—preparation, constant monitoring, and recovery. It also presents their digital practices in managing family-related personal and health issues. Importantly, it foregrounds the digital disruptions that exacerbate critical and anxiety-inducing conditions while examining the diverse tactics deployed by transnational families to cope with multiple crises and gain a sense of assurance. In short, the chapter illuminates the benefits and tensions produced through connective practices for crisis management in a transnational household.","PeriodicalId":215426,"journal":{"name":"(Im)mobile Homes","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127912605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
