This article starts from reflections prompted by reading “Migration and Intolerance”, by Umberto Eco (2020), on observations made during the data collection in research on violence suffered by migrants, students of an educational project in Porto Alegre, RS. The work provoked new perspectives for the understanding of the speeches of the interviewed migrants, through questions about the violence they suffered. Which are they? How this is produced and crosses the subjectivities of migrants? To answer these questions, in addition to the reference literary work, this study is based on Frantz Fanon and Johan Galtung to highlight, at the end, the importance of creating listening spaces to the singularities and the signifiers circulation of the migrant subjects.
