This paper aims to consider the recent interest in a type of qualitative research known as narrative research, discussing the relationship between narrative and identity formation and/or understanding. The main objective is to try to establish a link between the ideas of researchers who deal with the issue of narratives or life stories as identity construction and the ideas of authors who approach the identity issue from a post-modern point of view. Through an example of "Third Space", the ideas and suggestions of these authors will be discussed in order to try to reach a deeper comprehension of such current as well as polemic issues as narratives, identities and cultures, in their broadest definitions.
