The migration process is interpreted in a different way when researchers live in so-called
societies of origin than when it is interpreted from societies of destination-even when
research work is multi-situated. The localization of researchers in this field involves
numerous factors that influence the modalities for conducting research. Research agendas are
clearly mediated by these localizations and this book on the contemporary social sciences
points out those mediations breaking with the dichotomous readings that are implicit in this
migration process (origin-destination north-south and cause-effect to mention just a few).
In the individual chapters priority is given to presenting the modalities through which
research is conducted in multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary teams on the American
Continent. In summary the focus of this book is on the narrative of methodological experience
of the Practice of Research on Migration and Mobilities.
