These platforms have created a new communicative environment, which the authors call 'polymedia'. This book draws on a long-term ethnographic study of prolonged separation between transnational Filipino migrant mothers in the UK and their left-behind children in the Philippines. It is unique in the way it provides firstly a theory of the new experience of media itself, as polymedia. This is complemented by a theory of relationships based on an analysis of mother-child communication. The authors seek to go beyond both media studies and anthropology to construct a new theory of mediated relationships that combines findings from both disciplines and has considerable importance for the social sciences more generally."--Publisher's description. 0aForeign workers, FilipinoxFamily relationshipszGreat Britain. 0aWomen foreign workersxFamily relationshipszGreat Britain. 0aChildren of foreign workersxFamily relationshipszPhilippines. 0aCommunication in familieszPhilippines. 0aInterpersonal communicationxTechnological innovationsxSocial aspectszPhilippines. 0aCommunication, InternationalxTechnological innovationsxSocial aspectszPhilippines.1 aMiller, Daniel,d1954-
