COGO, Denise  and  DUTRA BRIGNOL, Liliane. Latinoamericanos en el sur de Brasil: recepción mediática y ciudadanía de las migraciones transnacionales. Comun. soc [online]. 2009, n.11, pp.135-162. ISSN 0188-252X.

This article discusses the processes of mediatic interaction of contemporary migrations of latin americans in the context of the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. It is based on the results of an empirical research (between 2004-2007). Research techniques included 'life history' and 'focal groups', while the theoretical background included several previous studies of reception in Latin America. Discussion focus on how those interactions constitute places of (re)invention of modalities of appropriation and interactive communicative use for migrants, who (re)configure their migratory experiences on a local scope and conform related specific identity processes to the notion of "Latino-Americanidad".

Keywords : communications media; migrations; reception; citizenship.
