This article aims to analyze the production of meanings in a case study of a migrant woman self-interpretation dynamics from a migrant's life experience. Brazil is undergoing a humanitarian emergency receiving Venezuelans arriving in the country. In geographical displacements, the sense of continuity of oneself is reoriented and challenged by ruptures in transitions. Conventionalization promotes reflexive dynamics in inter-historicities. The participant took part in a semi-structured and an objects mediated interview. Data were submitted to a dialogic-thematic analysis. Results indicated that the polyphonic games occur in the tensions between the present that interprets the past and is regulated by possibilities of a future in which previous knowledge is used to successfully obtain new ways of knowing and being in the new country. Regulatory meanings relate to the possibility of staying in the chosen country and to the sacrifices surmountable through one's actions, choices, and searches for solutions and through the mediation of the family and institutions that work with migrants and religiosity.
