La inmigración, uno de los fenómenos más característicos de nuestro tiempo, cuestiona los procesos de construcción de identidad en relación a la experiencia de pertenencia y vinculación con el espacio, el territorio y los mundos sociales. Este trabajo explora la mirada de un grupo de 14 inmigrantes colombianos sobre la vida en Santiago, indagando cómo ciertas características del espacio dan cuenta de tendencias culturales y formas de habitar particulares.

This paper discusses the subjective identity processes produced in the transnational migration experience through the concept of interstitial identities. To illustrate the uses of this concept, a case built from life stories, in-depth interviews, and photo stories is analyzed. Thus, Maria is identified, a skilled Brazilian immigrant in Santiago de Chile, who chooses to descend from the upper to low socioeconomic class in the destination country to construct herself as the subject of her history. In addition, it reflects on the processuality of their identities and on the identity negotiations that she establishes in the interstice between different cultural configurations she relates transnationally, in which gender and class are relevant categories. Finally, it is concluded that thinking about the migratory experience from interstitial identities does not allow to build identity typologies but to explore the articulations between subject and culture in migration.
