Abstract

Human mobility has drawn the attention of scholars from all branches of social sciences, as befits a phenomenon that is at the centre of any individual’s or social group’s life experiences. Most research has concentrated on one aspect of mobility: the one that is known by the term migration and its variants – emigration and immigration. In Catalonia, these issues have been a constant theme in social thinking. The article intends to make an inventory of the work done on this subject and the context in which it appears. The characteristics of this phenomenon are critically reviewed, some general features are observed on the treatment of migration, and some specific features of the academic production in Catalonia are pointed out. The text concludes with some proposals.
