Applying the \u201cim\/mobilities\u201d framework, this study explains how different left-behind caregivers use mediated communication as communicative mobilities to negotiate family roles and relationships in situated transnational power geometry. Despite the common structural constraints (rural patriarchy and inadequate social resources), left-behind women\u2019s socio-structural immobilities vary depending on their specific relationship with migrants (conjugal, kinship, and intergenerational dynamics), which embodies the asymmetrical nature of transnationalism. The findings highlight the dynamic negotiation between left-behind caregivers\u2019 communicative mobilities and their contextualized socio-structural immobilities, which leads to diverse forms of agency and disempowerment. This article shows that communicative mobility is not only manifested as media use but also embodied as media (non)use.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Lay Summary<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Transnational labor migration has allowed people in poor areas to improve their financial well-being, but has also caused separations among many families. Thanks to the prevalence of various digital media (e.g., instant messaging, webcam and voice calls, and social media platforms, etc.), fragmented family members are able to maintain and manage different family relationships despite geographic constraints. This study draws on three groups of female caregivers (mothers, aunts, and grandmothers) in Fuqing, a major transnational migrant-labor-sending area in China. I am particularly interested in how these left-behind women collaborate with migrant parents to fulfil their duties of raising left-behind children through digital media. The findings suggest that left-behind women\u2019s life experiences are not only related to gender norms and inadequate social resources (e.g., a lack of job opportunities and robust social welfare system) in rural China, but also pertinent to their specific relationship with migrants (e.g., conjugal, kinship, and intergenerational dynamics). While female caregivers\u2019 different situations influence their media practices during childrearing collaboration with migrant parents, such media engagement also contributes to the shaping of their transnational family relationships.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jcmc\/zmac003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,25]],"date-time":"2022-01-25T20:14:48Z","timestamp":1643141688000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["The \u201cConnected\u201d Caregivers: Exploring the Interplay of Left-Behind Women\u2019s Socio-Structural Immobilities and Communicative Mobilities in Transnational Power Geometries"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9771-6464","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Humanities, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2022032516135767900_zmac003-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"250","DOI":"10.1177\/0011392118792927","article-title":"\u2018Making time\u2019: long-distance marriages and the temporalities of the transnational family","volume":"67","author":"Acedera","year":"2019","journal-title":"Current Sociology Monograph"},{"issue":"2","key":"2022032516135767900_zmac003-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoforum.2021.02.021","article-title":"When care is near and far: Care triangles and the mediated spaces of mobile phones among Filipino transnational families","volume":"121","author":"Acedera","year":"2021","journal-title":"Geoforum"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022032516135767900_zmac003-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1080\/17450100500489080","article-title":"If mobility is everything, then it is nothing: Towards a relational politics of (im)mobilities","volume":"1","author":"Adey","year":"2006","journal-title":"Mobilities"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022032516135767900_zmac003-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1111\/maq.12404","article-title":"Only near is dear?
