Abstract
En un estudio sobre redes digitales en una diáspora romaní procedente del occidente rumano, pudimos afinar nuestro conocimiento etnográfico del uso específico que la población estudiada hacía de las tecnologías digitales, observando que habían desarrollado «artesanías» concretas que reflejaban un modelado cultural del binomio smartphone-Facebook. Este modelado venía marcado por el temor al control-represión institucional, el correlato digital del sistema sexo-género, y un creciente papel del pentecostalismo en la gestión y valoración de Facebook. Asimismo, nuestra experiencia reveló el valor de la comprensión etnográfica para diseñar técnicas digitales de producción de datos culturalmente sensibles. Confirmamos que las respuestas a las tecnologías no son universales, dependiendo estas de los contextos socioculturales donde se generan. En este grupo, «vivir sin Facebook» puede ser difícil, pero también existe el riesgo constante de incurrir en «pecados» a través del smartphone, transgresiones que ponen en peligro vínculos familiares, religiosos y etnoculturales.
