RIBAS-MATEOS, Natalia  e  CABEZON-FERNANDEZ, María-Jesús. New frontiers of mobility and migrations: a theoretical-empirical analysis. Finisterra [online]. 2021, n.117, pp.253-272.  Epub 01-Ago-2021. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/finis23821.

Traditional studies of migration assumed that migrants brought with them a strong sense of place, of the territory of origin and the territory of destination, as well as an uni-directional sense of a return project. Therefore, the current mobility concept is not new, but different due to the emphasis on movement in relation with communications in real-time, on the intense movement of goods, as well as in the instant information conveyed by digital technologies. These are changes in a phenomenon which have brought the emergence of new theoretical paradigms. The objective of this article is to show how migration theories explain current social inequalities, configured as new borders of mobilities and migrations, resulting from new population dynamics linked to the population mobility of people under the light of two brief illustrative cases.

Palavras-chave : globalization; transnationalism; mobility paradigm; social inequality.
