Resumo: This article aims to analyze the actions carried out by a local political leadership of a small and recently emancipated municipality located in upstate Rio Grande do Sul, aimed at defining a representative image of place based on ethnic and mnemonic criteria. The agent, endowed with multi-notability in the spheres of politics and intellectuality/culture, was responsible, throughout the exercise of successive mandates in the municipal Executive, for raising German ethnicity to public and official landmarks in the municipality, which is expressed in the establishment of a Germanized public sphere and the systematic construction of historical monuments. In terms of methodology, the article is based on an ethnography of sites of memory, combined with the interview technique and the analysis of the agent’s intellectual and bibliographical production. The discussion made it possible to reflect on the role of local elites for the definition of symbols and representative images of the place, verifying the role of local identity symbols for the legitimization of newly emancipated municipalities, as well as the political and electoral dividends obtained by the agent resulting from the investment in ethnicity and memory.

O agente, dotado de multinotabilidades nas esferas da política e da intelectualidade/cultura, foi responsável, ao longo do exercício de sucessivos mandatos no Executivo municipal, pela alçada da etnicidade germânica a marcos públicos e oficiais no município, o que se expressa no estabelecimento de uma esfera pública germanizada e na construção sistemática de monumentos históricos. Em termos metodológicos, o artigo se baseia em uma etnografia de lugares de memória, aliada à técnica da entrevista e à análise da produção intelectual e bibliográfica do agente. A discussão possibilitou refletir sobre a atuação de elites locais para a definição de simbologias e de imagens representativas de lugar, constatando-se o papel de símbolos identitários locais para a legitimação de municípios recém-emancipados, bem como os dividendos políticos e eleitorais obtidos pelo agente decorrentes do investimento em etnicidade e memória.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/680410.1590/SciELOPreprints.6804porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/6804/12868Copyright (c) 2023 Lucas Voigthttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVoigt, Lucasreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-09-12T01:41:56Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/6804Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-09-12T01:41:56SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false
