TYPOLOGIES
Cohen, 1997
be able to include those groups that scatter voluntarily or as a result of fleeing aggression, persecution, or extreme hardship
Safran, 1991
the original community has spread from a homeland to two or more countries; they are bound from their disparate geographical locations by a common vision, memory or myth about their homeland
they have a belief that they will never be accepted by their host societies and therefore develop their autonomous cultural and social needs
-
they should continue to maintain support for homeland and therefore the communal consciousness and solidarity enable them to continue these activities
argued that the concept is linked to those communities that share some or all of these characteristics...
take into account the necessity for a sufficient time period before any community can be described as a diaspora. There should be indications of a transnational community's strong links to the past that thwart assimilation in the present as well as the future
recognize more positive aspect of diasporic communities. For instance, the tensions between ethnic, national and transnational identities can lead to creative formulations
acknowledge that diasporic communities not only form a collective identity in the place of settlement or with their homeland, but also share a common identity with member of the same ethnic communities in other countries
attempted to move the debate forward, but his emphasis on strong links to the past makes that not the case

-
strict definitions or typologies do not recognize the dynamic and fluid character of both diasporas and the volatile transnational contexts in which they emerge and acquire substance
mobility/displacement
no longer relies just on displacement, but on connectivity
-
consistently associated with experiences of displacement, dispersal, and migrancy

diasporic language seems to be replacing or at least supplementing, minority discourse
