In this paper, the fruitfulness of the biographical narrative approach in studying fluid, transient and transcultural identities will be discussed. In the first part, we will bring out the theoretical and methodological principles shared by the researchers working within the field of the biographical approach in relation to the notion of identity and to the modes for exploring it. In the second part we will attempt to use the biographical approach in order to explore the transformation of transcultural identity in the case of an Armenian-Greek/ Pontic female immigrant coming to Greece from the ex-Soviet Republic of Armenia in 1991 after the collapse of the soviet regime. Key words: biographical narrative approach; narrative identity; biographical work; biographical resources; positioning; ethnic identity; cosmopolitan self. Resumen. Construcciones y transformaciones biográficas: el uso del método biográfico para el estudio de las identidades transculturalesEn este artículo se discute el valor de la aproximación narrativo-biográfica en el estudio de las identidades líquidas, transitorias y transculturales. En la primera parte se presentan los principios teóricos y metodológicos compartidos por los investigadores en el campo de la aproximación biográfica relacionada con el concepto de identidad y la manera de explorarla. En la segunda parte, y con el fin de analizar la transformación de la identidad transcultural, se aplica el método biográfico en el caso de una inmigrante greco-armenia que llegó a Grecia en 1991, procedente de la ex república soviética de Armenia tras el colapso del régimen soviético. Palabras clave: métodos biográficos; identidad narrativa; trabajo biográfico; medios biográ-ficos; posicionamiento; identidad étnica; el «yo» cosmopolita.
