What is the experience of being a migrant? There is a need to address the phenomenon of migration beyond a large flow or a macro process. Understanding this phenomenon first involves delving into it in search of the implications that migration has in the immediate spheres of life. More essentially, what are the implications of displacement on the self, that is, what are the implications of leaving one's place of origin and migrating to a destination that is foreign and strange? In this sense, we believe that migration is an ontological issue, that is, it affects the subject from their very being. The movement caused by displacement is to place the being in a transitory state, or rather, in ontological transience. The repercussions of this movement are reflected in how migrants deal with places, or how they negotiate their involvement in their destination. This negotiation directly involves the constitution of place, since the being is always a being-there, that is, a situated being. However, it is necessary to reflect on what it means to migrate and to be a migrant, in the context of experience in its spatial and existential dimension in the face of contemporary transience and fluidity.
