Abstract
The awareness of the identity we are dealing with here is tributary of a living space and of a duration, that is to say, of spatiality and of temporality. Indeed, the identity experience is closely bound to the ideas of living space, time (duration) and the feelingsof belonging and security.The sociologist of the living experience makes an effort to capture these multidimensional trajectories, based on the anaylsis of everyday life, in order to analyze the behaviors and, essentially, the relationships between the legitimate social categories and the subjective representations that individuals make of their own social status. The construction of collective identity appears, in our case, as a movement of assertion of a kind of local identity, “peri-urban”, relative to a system of solidarity.From the rural exodus to the access to the urban identity with its stages of integration to the city, a flexibilty of interpretation to comprehend this social fact is imperative. Truly, the scientific practice is not a congealed “bureaucratic” practice. The transition from an identity of exclusion to the identity of neo-citizen takes place in those stopping-off places, the “peri-urban” habitat or the “double city”, the hearths of creativity of a spontaneous urbanization which implies a model of spontaneous development dictated by the users themselves.
