From the observation of the uses and appropriations of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), it aims to understand how these families have appropriated communicational tools to manage the distances ? in the broadest sense ? and the bonds among its members. Given the possibilities offered by digital technologies, we evidence that families gain new space and new resources for the management of their affective bonds. Thus, we seek to understand how this space has been configured; what resources and strategies are used and how these are employed by family members; what are the implications of this communication in a context of intensification of domestic daily life in relation to distance and how this articulates with the spaces of face-to-face and digital conviviality. For this, categories of analysis were consolidated throughout the empirical research and proposed for the observation of the object in its light. These categories ? patterns of interaction, processes of appropriation of ICTs, processes of socialization and processes of signification and resignification ? helped to understand the individual and family trajectories that made their members reach a common place of communication, that is, with which the dynamics of family communication occurred in certain ways, consistent with their historicalbiographical trajectories. In a context of intensification of the familiar everyday life provided by digital technologies, families without borders have communication as fundamental to their contemporary practices of intimacy, significantly reducing the relevance of the physical space for the operation and management of the domestic sphere. / A presente tese constitui-se em uma pesquisa qualitativa emp?rica, com inspira??es etnogr?ficas, que busca compreender como se d? a comunica??o de fam?lias com integrantes que vivem geograficamente apartados entre si. A partir da observa??o dos usos e apropria??es de Tecnologias de Informa??o e Comunica??o (TICs), visa entender como tais fam?lias t?m se apropriado de ferramentas comunicacionais para gerenciar as dist?ncias ? em seu sentido mais amplo ? e os v?nculos entre seus membros. Diante das possibilidades oferecidas pelas tecnologias digitais, evidenciamos que as fam?lias ganham um novo espa?o e novos recursos para o gerenciamento de seus la?os afetivos. Assim, buscamos compreender como tem se configurado este espa?o; que recursos e estrat?gias s?o utilizados e como esses s?o empregados pelos membros da fam?lia; quais as implica??es dessa comunica??o em um contexto de intensifica??o do cotidiano dom?stico em rela??es ? dist?ncia e como este articula-se com os espa?os de conv?vio presencial e digital. Para isso, categorias de an?lise foram consolidadas ao longo da pesquisa emp?rica e propostas para a observa??o do objeto ? sua luz. Tais categorias ? padr?es de intera??o, processos de apropria??o das TICs, processos de socializa??o e processos de significa??o e ressignifica??o ? auxiliaram na compreens?o das trajet?rias individuais e familiares que fizeram com que seus membros chegassem a um lugar comum de comunica??o, ou seja, com que as din?micas de comunica??o familiar ocorressem de determinadas formas, coerentes com suas trajet?rias hist?rico-biogr?ficas. Em um contexto de intensifica??o do cotidiano familiar propiciado pelas tecnologias digitais, as fam?lias sem fronteiras t?m a comunica??o como fundamental para suas pr?ticas contempor?neas de intimidade, diminuindo significativamente a relev?ncia do espa?o f?sico para o gerenciamento e o funcionamento de sua esfera dom?stico.
