摘　　要：Migration is a global phenomenon and can present different characteristics and trends,as well as multiple reasons for its origin,linked for example to political,economic,war,climatic or cultural factors.Public discourse on migrants is often fuelled by prejudices and stereotypes with sometimes important consequences,such as episodes of misinformation or verbal violence,transmitted in digital format,with a high percentage of sharing and diffusion.However,scientific literature in the social sciences is still scarce,as is the attention of institutions and media to the“digital dimension”of the migration phenomenon.The new electronic-digital media are increasingly interconnected environments used to build and share information,also in the field of migration.Consequently,it is necessary to scientifically investigate this aspect and to know the languages and communication modes of“digital migrants”(cybermigrants),in order to manage technological risks and their new virtual identities,beyond any form of surveillance.Onlife is the term coined by philosopher Luciano Floridi to represent the new human condition in the digital age.A dimension that can also be identified in the migration phenomenon:migrants are not only the subject of journalistic narratives,but they live connectedly and actively participate in the spaces of the net.For these reasons,and others that will be presented here,through the study and analysis of the international literature,we would like to try to think of a new social science:the“sociology of digital migrations”.
