Drawing upon the theoretical and conceptual conceptualisations of diasporas within these fields, the article is suggesting that diasporic cultural practices constitute ways of "imagination," of "institution" of "spaces" that often extend beyond the boundaries of place, of articulation of "imagined" and "encountered" communityand of senses of belonging that straddle the "local versus global" and divide and, in the process, redefine locality and "the global." Crucial in such processes is the development of the "diasporic media spaces" that are increasingly in evidence in transnational and local settings. The article suggests that such spaces of negotiation and exchange are increasingly becoming sites where conflicting claims of belonging as well as common frameworks of identity and solidarity coexist and become articulatedČlanek sledi razvoju akademske razprave in oblikovanju interesa za diasporo in ju umešča v sodobne analize postomoderne in globalizacije ter razvoj kulturoloških študij in socialne antropologije. Izhajajoč iz teoretskih opredelitev diaspore v teh vedah, članek ugotavlja, da diasporične kulturne prakse oblikujejo načine imaginacije, institucije prostorov, ki pogosto presegajo krajevne meje, artikulacije zamišljene skupnosti in smislov pripadanja, ki premoščajo "lokalno proti globalnemu" in redefinirajo lokalno in globalno. Za ta proces je bistveno ustvarjanje diasporičnih medijskih prostorov, ki vse bolj nastajajo v transnacionalnih in lokalnih okvirih. Članek ugotavlja, da taki prostori mediacije in izmenjave vse bolj postajajo prizorišča, na katerih soobstajajo in se artikulirajo nasprotne upravičenosti pripadanja ter skupni okviri identitete in solidarnostiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
