Abstract

Abstract: Transnational dynamics today have gained strength, since they are part of the world contemporary, connecting migrants across borders with their societies of origin, mainly through social remittances. Therefore, the present investigation explores the transnational practices of Ecuadorian-Lojano migrants in relation to the social remittances. Under a qualitative ethnographic approach, expanding the exploration through virtual ethnography, using in-depth semi-structured interviews aimed at Ecuadorian migrants settled in the United States, Spain and Italy. The results evidenced the repercussion of transnational practices both in the life of the migrant and their families, mainly in the construction of multiple or dual identities, and although It is clear that not all migrants can be transnational, there are various factors that allow them to carry out these activities, among them, the emergence of the technology that has allowed transnationalism to spread progressively creating a source of proximity between the border.
