Summary/Abstract: The article presents Heidegger’s concept of dwelling and Arendt’s figure of a stateless person in order to show a more profound existential dimension of the issue of the occupied territory. The juxtaposition of the above philosophical perspectives allowed for fully stressing the fact that the issues concerning refugees, migrants, repatriates are undoubtedly associated not only with legal or economic aspects, but primarily with how are we able to think about human existence in the context of the dwelling space.
