Resumo: | The objective of this work is to analyze the interventions of Luiz Carlos Barbosa Lessa (writer, folklorist and activist-founder of the Gaucho Traditionalist Movement) in the public debate of Rio Grande do Sul, using the imagination-literature. We start from the episode that shook the local literate production in the 1950s, the so-called “Sepé polemic”, on the merits or the impracticability of incorporating the experience of the Guarani Misiones in the narratives of the Gaucho past. I seek, therefore, not only to ascertain the positions of the author, but to evaluate the possibilities and formal choices for confrontation, in particular by examining literary writing as a counterpoint to the historical discourse. Lessa’s standing on the Indigenous issue leads to deeper criticisms of the dominant model of historical memory in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, guiding his literary project towards unusual creations, such as the portrayal of groups and segments previously seen as marginal ones (Indigenous groups, Afro-Brazilians, women), and a reaffirmation of the popular character of the Gaucho from Rio Grande do Sul. |

Para tanto, parte-se de um episódio que agitou a produção letrada local na década de 1950, o chamado “caso Sepé”, em torno do qual foi ponderada a conveniência ou inviabilidade de incorporar a experiência missioneira guarani na narração do passado gaúcho. Buscase, portanto, não somente averiguar as posições do autor no debate, mas avaliar as possibilidades e escolhas formais de confronto, em especial a escrita literária como contraponto ao discurso histórico. A tomada de posição de Lessa sobre a questão indígena leva a críticas mais amplas ao modelo dominante de memória histórica no estado, orientando seu projeto literário para criações até então pouco comuns, como a figuração de grupos e segmentos tidos como marginais (indígenas, negros, mulheres), além da reafirmação do caráter popular do gaúcho rio-grandense.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2014-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/80010.15848/hh.v0i16.800História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 7 No. 16 (2014); 37-54História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 7 Núm. 16 (2014); 37-54História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 7 n. 16 (2014); 37-541983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPporhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/800/493Zalla, Jocelitoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-02T02:38:46Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/800Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2020-05-02T02:38:46História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false |
