I denna studie har vi undersökt hur individer i diaspora upprätthåller sin identitet via digital media. De teoretiska ramverk som vi har använt i denna studie är diaspora, digital diaspora, identitet, digitala medier, digital diaspora communities och hybriditet. Vi samlade vår data genom kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer och data analyserades med tematisk analys. Respondenterna som vi intervjuade var studenter från Mittuniversitet med utländsk härkomst. Vi höll intervjuerna i grupprummen på Mittuniversitetet. Inspelning av intervjuerna varierade mellan 20–40 minuter. Resultatet av vår studie visade att respondenterna i diaspora använder digitala medier för att bekräfta sin identitet, skapa hybrid identiteter och upprätthållning av sin identitet. / In this study, we examined how individuals in diaspora maintain their identity via digital media.

El propósito de la tesina presente es analizar la manera de expresar las dificultades de una identidad híbrida en dos poemas contemporáneos de dos escritoras de origen latinoamericano, Gloria Anzaldúa y Julia Alvarez. Se han analizado los dos poemas elegidos teniendo en cuenta la perspectiva de una identidad híbrida y los problemas que ello conlleva en una sociedad llena de normas y fronteras entre grupos étnicos, culturales y sexuales. Después del análisis de los poemas sigue una comparación entre los resultados de la investigación y finalmente presentamos nuestras conclusiones. El estudio muestra que a pesar de que los poemas parezcan muy diferentes se han encontrado puntos de relación, como por ejemplo la similitud de los mensajes principales de los poemas; que necesitamos aceptar las mezclas de culturas, etnias y sexos. / The purpose of this study is to analyse the expression of the difficulties with a hybrid identity in two contemporary poems written by two authors from Latin America, Gloria Anzaldúa and Julia Alvarez. The analysis of the two poems take into account the perspective of a hybrid identity and the problems that this entails in a society filled with rules, standards and boundaries between different ethnic, cultural and sexual groups.  The analysis of the two poems is followed by a comparison of the results of the investigation and ultimately is presented the conclusions. The study shows that the poems share several respects, despite that they at first seems very different. An example is the similarities of the main messages that the poems convey, that we need to accept the mix of cultures, ethnics and sexualities.
