The study seeks to identify, based on prose migration experience, what are the effects of contact with the other's culture. In this direction, real characters are analyzed from the perspective of difference production, a conceptual exercise developed based on the works of Gregory Bateson and Benedict Anderson. In the methodological design the study is based on bibliographic research on the travel literature genre, the concept of information and the concept of difference production. The corpus of the study is made up of three books, namely: ―De moto pela América do Sul: diário de viagem‖, by Ernesto Che Guevara; ―Transplante de menina: da rua dos navios à Rua Jaguaribe‖, by Tatiana Belinky; "Sete anos no Tibet." by Heinrich Harrer. Based on the reading of these works the significant terms present in the speeches of the characters were submitted to Content Analysis (AC), according to the methodological orientations of Laurence Bardin. The results show that the authors are both narrator and character who become different throughout the migratory experience in another country, as they know other ways of living, thinking, speaking, acting and being. In these narratives, it is also observed that, as in the migratory experiences that take place in the concrete real world, the process of knowing and learning living in another space-cultural reality is marked by difficulties such as the culture and values shock, which leads to characters to rethink their identity. Finally, literature is understood as another possible resource not only to investigate, but also to teach / learn about the migratory phenomenon, especially by providing sufficiently detailed information about the other's land and the subjectivity of the protagonists who so intensely launch themselves into the experience of mobility.
