ABSTRACT
This chapter considers diaspora, digital media, and multilingualism as intertwined in family members’ engagement in mediated spaces of cultural participation. It analyses how they deploy their repertoires of mediation for diasporic communication across various media channels and digital platforms, including social media timelines and group chats for Senegalese in the diaspora. The chapter develops the notion of ‘digital polycentricity’ to identify centres of digital diasporic practice, examining how participants orient to various centres of sociolinguistic norms and how these centres constrain their selection of resources from their linguistic repertoires.
