Sammendrag
This paper argues that migration must be understood as social and spatial practices. This
understanding emphasises both the migrant’s and places’ biography, which means that
migration must be related to the narrative of place, space and identity. The theoretical
discussion is exemplified in a case study of long distance migration (emigration) from a costal
fishing community in northwest Spain. The focus of the analysis is on how migrants
categorize the place where they grew up in relation to other spaces and how representations of
local and distant space are constituted as hegemonic meanings of structures and symbols
through different local practices.
