Abstract
The article examines traumatic nodes related to migration and rootlessness, especially in adolescent situations. In particular the traumatic memories and the transformations of body experiences in the migratory transits are analyzed. Finally, particular attention is given to the complex relational dynamics that are established in accommodation centers where operators are often “collecting” in their minds unsustainable traumatic elements that immigrants bring with them.
