Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, migration represents a very complex and dynamic phenomenon which determines modifications in social relationships and in the sociocultural models, implications at an economic and political level and last but not least, changes at a personal level. Specialized literature and life experiences presented by the media demonstrates the fact that, sometimes, migrant’s experience is marked by difficult and contradictory feelings, migrant adopting diverse strategies for dealing with a perpetual dialectic between continuity and discontinuity, departure and closeness, resemblance and discrepancy, alienation and affiliation. The present study aims to highlight especially the implications of the migratory process upon the individual and the ways through which he passes the transition space associated with the migratory process, presenting some of the elements which define this interesting dynamic of continuity-discontinuity.
