When the "illegal migrant" burns his first attachements through the figure of the harrag, the migrant or so called "clandestine" who puts his life at risk through a rite of passage in the act of migration, we will attempt to consider several avenues of thought in order to try and clarify what is happening to this individual in the search for recognition and a place in society. This contemporary figure, who constitutes the paradigmatic example of a clinical movement at the time of globalization, reveals the intricacy of the activity of a drive, toward the political and social scene. The current phenomenon takes particular account of the subject's relationship towards initial ties and his radical attempt to tear away from his home-country. Copyright © 2015 John Libbey Eurotext.
