Abstract

This study investigates the place of cyberspace in the lives of migrants in Cuiabá, Brazil, exploring the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies offer in this context. Through a mixed methodological approach, and reflections from Pierre Lévy (1999), Jenkins (2010) and other authors, the research reveals that, despite the potential of cyberspace to promote social inclusion and access to information, Venezuelan migrants face various barriers, such as digital inequality and bureaucracy in the host cities. Habitus theory is used to understand how migrants' social and cultural background influences their experiences in the new country. The results demonstrate that the use of social networks contributes to the construction of hybrid identities and the strengthening of support networks, but can also generate feelings of isolation and alienation. The research highlights the importance of public policies that promote the digital inclusion of migrants and that value cultural diversity in schools, marked by social transformations in the contemporary world.
