Resumo

Este artigo explora as práticas de informação (pesquisa, uso e distribuição da informação) dos migrantes latinos, particularmente aqueles que estão em situação irregular na fronteira EUA-México, e em Seattle, Washington. Neste contexto geram-se práticas de informação diferentes. Na fronteira encontramos mais práticas de pobreza de informação tipo “pequeno mundo”, as quais são ampliadas e consolidadas em quanto o sentimento de pertença se reforça após passar mais tempo estabelecidos nos EUA. Porém, a vulnerabilidade e transitoriedade permanecem, perante o risco constante de deportação. Os resultados do estudo em comunidades colombianas são apresentados em outro artigo complementário na próxima edição desta revista. Através da fotografia participativa e entrevistas não estruturadas, exploramos as experiências e práticas de informação de comunidades marginalizadas e as relacionamos com o jeito em que vivenciam a transitoriedade ao longo das diferentes fases da experiência de migração. Também discutimos como as etapas de migração podem não ser suficientes para explicar as constantes mudanças e iterações sobre as experiências dos migrantes estudados.
