The present text has objective to reflect about the theoretical and methodical instrumental utility in my thesis, its aim analyzing the process of the identity construction of the porto-alegrense working class in the end of the XIX century and the first decades of the XX century. There are three hypotheses: 1) The construction of the working class identity demands searching for recognition through its pride of its productive capacity; 2) There are always social identities in relation, having mutual influences and contributing to permanent identity transformation; 3) The working class identity has not been built only from characteristics and from the context in which the worker are, but also from the combination of these characteristics with ideas, symbols and characteristics from many places that have been found in different countries.
