Abstract

The article deals with the impact of the use of information and communication technologies on the migration process. In this context, it gives special emphasis to the individual action independent of time and space which is enabled by these technologies. In addition to the fact that this kind of action causes the transition from the territorial to the network organization of society, it allows migrants never to leave their physically distant homelands emotionally and socially, which is not in line with the current sociological portrait of a migrant. Starting from this premise, the article proposes a reconsidering of the concept of migrant, based on the conditions of the network society.
