The contemporary narrative deals necessarily with themes of lobalization and migration set in a world ruled by disconnection and lack of meaning. In this context, considering the constitutive function of society that belongs to the literature, this thesis deals with the approach that such narratives give the migrants called the postmodern scene, distinguishing intellectual and manual laborer. To do so, are taken into account the peculiarities which mark the situation of the migrant intellectual and facilitate their integration in societies marked by multiculturalism, as well as the universe of the migrant laborer, struggling with a certain invisibility and difficulty in achieving the condition translated man. For the thematic development, the thesis presents points of reflection on the role of the intellectual, and also about the identity crisis of contemporary man, in search of hybrid spaces, covering also aspects surrounding the world of work in post-industrial capitalism proposing a multidisciplinary theoretical debate, including questions of history and law, and literature itself, specifically certain stories and certain characters of contemporary fiction.
