Abstract

The present paper wants to examine how social place articulates with the construction of meaning in the narrative of history. The period investigated is the second quarter of the twentieth century and the space analyzed is the intellectual relations around Farroupilha and the Vargas government. The objective is to analyze how the narrative about Farroupilha was constructed in the context of its centennial. For this, we have as a source to be examined the historiographical work O sentido brasileiro da Revolução Farroupilha de 1935, by the military and historian Souza Docca. The problem that guides the article is to know how the social place contributed to the construction of meaning of Farroupilha. It is concluded that the operability of the social place in the production of the aforementioned work was decisive as an element of the constitution of meaning of its narrative about the Farroupilha.
