| Abstract | |
This article aims to understand how the notion of Germanness was expressed in the German-Brazilian gymnastics societies organised under Turnerschaft von Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It examines the period between 1895 when Turnerschaft von Rio Grande do Sul was established in Brazil and 1938 when the Brazilian government initiated a nationalisation policy of institutions founded by immigrants. Its sources are statutes, clippings of German-language newspapers circulating in Brazil, commemorative magazines published by gymnastics societies, as well as magazines edited by the clubs studied. The study concludes that this social group, defined by the German-Brazilian gymnasts and their respective communities of immigrants, resisted certain representations coming from different origins, from both the Brazilian and German states.
