Unfortunately it is in Italian but I published a part of it in this article: "Media as home making tools: life story of a Filipino migrant in Milan", Media, Culture & society, 33(6), 869-883. Here the link to read it: http://www.scribd.com/doc/79449459/Media-as-Home-Making-Tools-MC-S-2011 Best tiziano 2014-02-05 Unger, Johann <j.unger@lancaster.ac.uk>:
Meanwhile, I'm trying to finish my email! Apologies for the earlier, unfinished draft. Here's what I meant to write:
Dear AOIR-ers,
A PhD student in my department is currently trying to finish his thesis on migrants' use if Facebook, with a particular focus on how they construct their identities. If you know of any interesting work in this area, I'd be grateful of you could let me know either off-list or on. We'll collate any responses and circulate in due course.
Many thanks, Johnny
