CHAVEZ-TORRES, Guillermina  and  PRECIADO-JIMENEZ, Susana Aurelia. Transnational community and communicative interaction: social diagnosis. Prospectiva [online]. 2018, n.26, pp.37-62. ISSN 0122-1213.  https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i26.5877.

This article undertakes a reflection, from a perspective of social work, about the elaboration of a social diagnosis associated with a transnational community which has formed between México and The United States of America. The diagnosis is constructed through the interpretation of information which circulates within the Tamazulan community (origin in Tamazula de Gordiano) resident in The United States. This case study takes into account online communicative interaction which generates close and constant quotidian bonds between the population that is “here and there”, and thus maintains unity within the population in spite of the distance.

Furthermore, the communicative interaction studied by means of virtual ethnography is intended to generate useful information of a theoretical-methodological character which will contribute to the generation of a project of binational intervention. This project will be an opportunity for collaboration among disciplines in the scope of migratory policies, and will participate in programs developed in consulates.

Keywords : Binational Community; Virtual Ethnography; Online Interaction; Social Diagnosis; Social Work.
