Speaking of the beginnings of the history of life as a history of learning, in the meaning of the Chicago School, on the basis of a story about the life of the Polish peasant by Thomas and Znaniecki (1998), I point to its relationship with the method, which consists in stimulating the subject to tell their story in order to understand internally the problem of migrants and their integration. Currently, when I think of migration – or the “migration crisis” in relation to migrants who are refugees from war-torn countries – paradoxically, I forget about these “migrants”, mostly young people, who are strongly encouraged (or more than encouraged) to emigrate with the argument that they are mobile, they know many languages, they have experience with many journeys and have gained cross-border experience. In this text, I ask the question why it is so difficult to imagine a comparison of these two types of migration: those that are described as invasive, illegal, without documents (most often with the loss of identity) and the latter, with the required documents, contracts, and migration undertaken for a “stronger identity”? Those who prioritize survival, compared to those whose goals are purely economic and focused on raising capital? I also recall fragments of the diploma thesis of Mélanie Vanetti-Engel, a graduate of the University of Fribourg. She heard and wrote a short story of two migrant women with a child with disability. The fruit of these conversations is a work called Partout où ils m’ont dit d’aller, je suis allée [I went everywhere I was told to go] (2017), in which Mélanie Vanetti-Engel presents and explains how a relationship between a woman and a woman is formed, a mother with a mother, introducing the reader into the middle of a relationship in which the questions and doubts, fears and emotions of each of them resound. The essence of this process is the word “I” spoken by both women, “I”, which reveals itself, awakens, explains and makes itself understandable.
