Mapping the new plurality of transnational families: a life course perspective
| Resumo: | Understanding how family relationships move beyond national borders and redefine themselves over space is the major challenge of research focusing on transnational family living. Migration literature has revealed the elusive and complex nature of family living across borders (Baldassar and Baldock 2000; Bryceson and Vuorela 2002b; Baldassar, Baldock and Wilding 2007) while also identifying spatial dispersion and relational interdependency as the two primary dimensions of transnational families (Vatz and Bolzman 2010). Dispersion refers to having members of the family spread out across several nation-states, whereas interdependency denotes maintaining a sense of bonding despite long distance. |
