RESUMO

The effort undertaken in this research was to investigate how the process of installation of the gaucho migrant in the north of Mato Grosso State happens. The basis of the analysis is the (re)construction of the gaúcha identity informed by the self-image of this social group which sees itself as an explorer, a pioneer and an enterprising that, leaving its origin territory, takes with it, in its baggage, a set of socio-cultural representations and references which are recovered in the new territory as a characteristic mark of its territoriality. It is about a case study from the life history and the gaúchos migrants memory who left the south region of the country going to a place which nowadays is the seat of the district of Lucas do Rio Verde. The research points to an analysis which has as reference the notion of symbolic power in which the group social identity interferes and is decisive in the constitution of new territories. It is through a symbolic array, using spacial elements, representations or symbols, that the gaucho constitutes his territorial identity, that is, he gives or reveals an aspect which homogenizes the territory where he lives, even if far from his homeland, able to give the group a certain cohesion and power (symbolic). In this way, a constitution process of a territory involves, dialectically, an indissoluble movement of unisntallation and reinstallation which happens in different scales and can be better understood from the concept of multiterritoriality. This dissertation has the aim of understanding the customs (social and cultural) and representations which were selected by this social actor, the gaucho, to print his identity in this new territory and to demonstrate that there is an interdependency which cannot be ignored among the socio-cultural relationships of the migrants and the standard of appropriation and territorial organization in different scales.
