Summary/Abstract: This article is a review of the book "Poetyka migracji" [The Poetics of Migration] edited by Przemysław Czapliński, Renata Makarska and Marta Tomczok (Wydawnictwo UŚ, Katowice 2013). This post-conference volume is of transcultural nature (it contains texts of Polish and German authors), and focuses around the issues of the metamorphosis of the phenomenon of emigration into the phenomenon of migrationality. The review summarizes the content of the volume and discusses the importance of the theoretical models proposed there and the universalizing role of the term “migration” in the anthropologically oriented humanities.
