In spite of social networks, to get inserting in society requires re-adaptation, adjustment of expectations and negotiation of relationship codes in both home countries and abroad.

This paper presents some theoretical and methodological notes related to a research focuses on subjective dimensions of return migrants’ reinsertion process to urban spaces in home countries. The point of departure is to analyze practices, senses and action turns of return migrants in two dimensions of the experience: re-insertion/ re-emigration and location/mobility.
