My intervention intends to investigate the relationship between migration spaces and the subjectivity of the migrant in order to understand the dynamics underlying the migration journey into illegality. The migrant must "disappear" to arrive at his destination (in my case the European Union), and only once he has arrived can he "reappear".Clearly, therefore, what is at stake is the relationship between the visible and invisible, since during the journey the migrant is called upon to neutralize his somatic and cultural identity (not making sounds, not being conspicuous, etc.). Not only that, but the migrant tends to lose his specific individuality to become part of a collective subject (the migrants), at once unitary and undifferentiated. Therefore, by working on this relationship, it is possible to bring out valuable information on the non-application of Human Rights on migrants.This kind of dynamics will be investigated from a comparative sociosemiotic analysis of three books: Bilal (Gatti 2007), 'Illegal' Traveller: An Auto-Ethnography of Borders (Khosravi 2010), and Little Brother. A Refugee's Odyssey (Balde, Arzallus Antia 2021). The three texts, written over a period of fourteen years, deal with first-person accounts of the migration journey through the central Mediterranean route. Moreover, Gatti's book is a special case because it is a reportage that the journalist conducted as an infiltrator, disguising himself as a migrant, and which started from the Sahara and led him to land on the island of Lampedusa. Interesting, therefore, will also be the comparison of different perspectives on the migratory journey.
