The present article is a clipping of the project Hybrid Identities: the place of the fictionists characters in Coronel de Barranco that has as a corpus the book Coronel de Barranco of the Brazilian author Cludio de Arajo Lima. The characters are hybrid live in the place, in the openings; they originate from many places and are different nature individuals. In Coronel de Barranco examples of intercultural relation that make to think about the plurality existence in each citizen, being possible to dialogue about the complexity of these relations. The research represents an innovation for the studies on fictionists, a time that the books will be analyzed from the cultural studies on. Through this look it is possible to see how the old and stabilized identities are in decline, making to appear the new fragmented and not unified identities that have been seeing as a part of an ample changing process that is dislocating the structures and central processes of the societies.
