越来越多的文献正在探讨信息和通信技术对跨国家庭关系的影响以及家庭成员跨越距离共同存在（情感上“在那里”为对方）的能力。在这篇文章中，我研究如何相对富裕，中产阶级的澳大利亚移民使用信息通信技术，以实现一个令人满意的遥远的共同存在感与他们的跨国家庭成员。我借鉴多媒体，充满活力的物质和护理循环的概念，探讨家庭如何使用信息和通信技术的方式正在改变形式的共存，以及一些固有的陷阱，在其使用。我认为，这些新形式的共同存在增加现有的互惠和义务，并促进越来越多的动态和多方面的关系跨越距离。
A growing literature is addressing the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on transnational family relationships and the ability of family members to be co-present (emotionally 'there' for each other) across distance. In this article, I examine how relatively wealthy, middle-class Australian migrants use ICTs to achieve a sense of satisfactory distant co-presence with their transnational family members. I draw on the concepts of polymedia, vibrant matter and care circulation to explore how families are using ICTs in ways that are transforming forms of co-presence, as well as some of the pitfalls inherent in their use. I argue that these new forms of co-presence augment existing reciprocities and obligations and are facilitating ever-more dynamic and multifaceted relationships across distance.
