Abstract

 

Migrant literature is characterized by the expansion of borders, overcoming cultural isolation, and the scale of intercultural relations. Migration as a result of political, cultural, social, economic events of the 20th and 21st centuries has brought significant changes in the transformation of identities, in the markers of cultural identity. One could say that a global space has been created in which, among other components, an important place is given to culture and literature. The characteristics of migrant literature and its features, independent, definite and indefinite contexts, the representation of individual and collective memories and other aspects are the object of special study.
