Abstract:
The increasing mobility, along with the consequent increase of the transnational flows and globalized realities on the one hand, and the production of knowledge through subsidized collective projects on the other, are posing some new challenges to the ethnography. This article aims to reflect on some of these challenges, based on four research projects carried out within the framework of the National R & D Plan between 2006 to the present, on a phenomenon ultimately mobile, virtual and multiple-sited as the migrations or mobility for love reasons. Multiple locations have been visited, and love itineraries between men and women from different origins have been reconstructed. These men and women search and find one another -relate to each other and decide to change residences- within the present and almost unlimited love supermarket. Consequently, in these projects the virtual becomes an observation unit as well as a tool to obtain information.
