Abstract
This article enumerates some of the experiences of research in Angola in the field of hu man mobility, aiming to reflect on the production of classifications and categories by international agencies, NGOs, policy makers and researchers. After stressing the risks of uncritical use in academic research activities of classifications and categories produced in the bureaucratic field, the author proposes to interpret migration as a creative action to which individuals or human groups resort to facing adverse circumstances and reconstructing everyday life.
