Summary/Abstract: Our paper focuses both on the condition of acculturation determined by one's temporal or permanent relocation on foreign territories, and on the consequences of this option in terms of existential strategies. Memory becomes the store of homeland experiences, practices, places that the individual relies on in their survival fight. The selection of texts used here to demonstrate the long-lasting effects of migration foreground the ways in which identities shift and are reshaped within the context of exile.
