This paper brings the reflexion, in the context of social psychology, of the importance of considering in studies at the field of Identity, the analysis not only of history but also the life project of individuals, in order to collect information about your identity process. The theoretical framework for this discussion was the sintagma identity-metamorphosis-emancipation proposed by Ciampa (1987/2009), as well as their basis in Habermas theory of communicative action (1975, 1983, 1987). The existence of a political identity, coupled with an autonomous life project lead the individual to this condition. Appears at the end of the article, a case in which, to give up the adherence to heteronomous identity politics and taking a political identity, the subject achieved emancipation fragments in his life project.
