This article explores the characteristics adopted by the discourse of the migrant subject in the story "Ausencia" (Absence) by the Peruvian writer Daniel Alarcón. Since the verification of a nomadic subject, it examines the re- articulation of the notions of territory, center / periphery and the confrontation with the "other." As a result of the analysis of these issues, we conclude that this narrative by Alarcón offers no relief to the subject from a dialectical synthesis of his identity; on the contrary, it leaves him suspended in an unfinished and amazed identification process. Keywords: Latin-American Literature, Daniel Alarcón, identity, subject, migration.
