Through the analysis of three case studies adopting three different qualitative methods, namely semi-structured interviews, Photovoice and digital ethnography, the paper analyses how food within migration represents a space, either real or virtual, either real or imagined, to make symbolic boundaries. The latter can be con-structed both with nostalgia and reasserted as a distinctive trait, able to differenti-ate who migrates from native population. In parallel, food can allow a hybridiza-tion of different traditions, unravelling hidden and unusual aspects of migration processes.
Keywords: food; migrations; stigma; interviews; photovoice; virtual ethnography
