In this paper, the author addresses the issue of relationship between the organ transplanta-tion and the migratory experience. In the transplant practice the organs “migrate”, prolonging their own existence and at the same time ensuring life to the recipient. The experience of organ transplantation shocks not only the body, but also the sense of Self, and the integration pro-cess is very complicated, because the hospitality is inseparable from the intrusion. The alienat-ing experience of transplantation reveals the foreign in our own bodies. The new organ, in fact, is an intensily ambiguous object, that evokes the Freudian concept of Unheimlich. In this contribution the author tries to identify some analytical paths that could favour the psychoso-matic integration of transplanted organs.
Keywords: the stranger, organ transplantation, migration, integration.
