Abstract

We have analyzed the migration of gauchos for the northern Paraná in the process of territorialization-desterritorialization-reterritorialization, highlighting the socio-cultural aspects that contribute to the maintenance of a gaucho territorial identity in Paraná. From the understanding of the territory in a multiple perspective that considers the various power relations in their natural aspects, economic, political, cultural and (i) materials, we analyze the intrinsic relationship between territory, culture and identity to understand how the gauchos maintains its territorial identity distant of Rio Grande do Sul. When the subjects are established territorially, they create identity links or else recreate culturally ancient ancestral values, allowing social groups become more cohesive. From the migratory point of view, the gauchos reterritorialized Parana, mostly in the West of the state, encouraged by the creation of the Nacional Agricultural Colony General Osório (CANGO) in 1943. However, it is interesting to note that Northern Paraná also denotes the presence of gaucho migrants who are culturally territorialized through the Center of Gaucho Traditions (CTGs), but have been neglected in the migratory studies of this region. From the field research in Londrina and Maringá, we verified that the gauchos preserve their traditions in these municipalities even though they do not frequent the CTGs, which confers a network of traditions that extends through microterritories. In addition, we identified a group of subjects born in Paraná who consider themselves gauchos - the paranauchos - and who constitute important diffusers of the gaucho culture in the North of Paraná.
