Re-reading of the Farroupilha past at IHGB (1921-1935): Republican memory and intellectual legitimacies

Abstract

This paper addresses a re-reading of the Farroupilha War (1835-1845) at IHGB from the 1920's to the celebration of the conflict centenary in 1935, which ended up integrating it into the national historical memory. In this process, discursive and institutional strategies were triggered, regarding the political use of the past, the historiographical tradition of IHGB and the constructed intellectual legitimacies.
