In contextul proceselor migraţionale care au vizat cetăţenii moldoveni incepand cu anii 1990 se prefigurează un fenomen cultural/literar extrem de interesant, care a luat amploare. Autorii migranţi fac parte din cei peste 850 mii de migranţi plecaţi din Republica Moldova, peste hotare. Lucrările publicate de ei, in Republica Moldova sau peste hotare, in romană sau in alte limbi (italiană, spaniolă, franceză etc.) au o tematică foarte diversă. O valorificare a unei experienţe, cea a migraţiei – inţeleasă in general ca mobilitate umană, nu neapărat ca experienţe dramatice. La inceputuri, in anii 2000, erau apariţii şi cazuri singulare. Studiul de cercetare urmăreşte să evidenţieze specificul evoluţiei acestui fenomen, principalele caracteristici ale lucrărilor publicate. Fiind un fenomen literar complex, in cadrul cercetării au fost aplicate metoda behavioristă, comparativă, istoriografică, unele metode calitative: interviuri in profunzime, tip povestea vieţii etc.
