Human beings migrate. From the origin of the species to the present day, this has been an unalterable trait. Whether for economic, political, professional or personal reasons, human flows have spread to the farthest corner of the Earth – and now we are talking about Mars – and are still maintained today, impacting both the societies of origin and destination. In Catalonia, these individual and collective movements have generated sustained interest over time, with approaches from fields as diverse as demography, sociolinguistics, literature, history, sociology, economics or cultural studies. This thematic transversality fully coincides with the interdisciplinarity of our Consolidated Research Group, justifying the focus of the First Identicat Conference, based on the case study of another community closely linked to the migration issue: Galicia.
