In this article, we seek to show how the phenomenon of migration articulates processes of politicization of online conversations in public spaces in countries of origin, based on the analysis of the discussion forum of the Cubadebate web site. By focus on these online conversations on migration issues, we aim to observe categories such as the mobilization of testimonies and self-narratives that allow possible links between individual relationships and issues perceived as collective. As well as possible relations between the temporality references outlined through the narratives, the reconfiguration of life projects and the imagination of other possible worlds that can be discursively built into the context of a migratory reality. Thus, this research aims to contribute to understand migration beyond the very act of mobility itself, not only involving the physical movement of the subject, but emphasizing also on the impact of these processes in countries of origins of those migration fluxes.
