Globalization has produced two important phenomena related to identity. On the one hand, processes of social homogenization by the extension of a particular economic and cultural model, on the other the plurification of forms of being by the multiplication of information. This double process, which is complementary, has a unique impact on and due to transnational migrations. If in the past immigrate meant integrating into a new society and into a new culture in different manners and with different levels, in the global context this process is much more complex. In this text, we will try to analyse the processes of adaptation, (re) construction and (re) formulation of migrants identity (cultural, religious and ethnic) when they settle in a new society, through two great theoretical paradigms: the theory of the reproduction and transmission of collective identity (based on a phenomenological-genetic model) by Alfonso Pérez-Agote; and the theory of Subject by Alain Touraine and the subjectivization processes by Michel Wieviorka.
