Summary: | This study analyzes the constitution of Odilon Gomes de Oliveira's heritage agency in the municipality of Santo Augusto, located in the Celeiro Region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, investigating how his role as a memorialist and political agent institutionalized an official narrative about the local past. To this end, the research is organized around three axes of composition that seek to understand the heritage he chose as a political and affective construction: [GZ1.1] firstly, the historical formation of the territory is discussed, from the millennial occupations of the original peoples to the colonization processes and the traumas of the 1923 Revolution. In the second axis, the role of Odilon Gomes de Oliveira as a mediator who converted family memories and oral accounts into vectors of memory [GZ2.1] sanctioned by the public power of the municipality, using public office to legislate on which landmarks should be worthy of preservation, is examined. Finally, the investigation focuses on the selection and silencing mechanisms inherent to this agency, demonstrating how the exaltation of white pioneering and Gaucho traditionalism relegated indigenous ancestry and figures like Cacique Fongue to narrative invisibility. The methodology adopted is qualitative in nature and relies on the analysis of documentary, legislative, journalistic, and iconographic sources, filling gaps in official collections through archives of local periodicals and the memoir work of Odilon Gomes de Oliveira. Through this analysis, the aim is to understand heritage not as a static repository of facts, but as a strategic resource that, in contemporary times, is reactivated by the phenomenon of touristification on the Yucumã Route to forge a cohesive and marketable public identity. The results indicate that the Official History of Santo Augusto is the product of a political intention that transformed particular experiences into identity markers, leaving to the historiographical field the challenge of giving voice to the trajectories that remained on the margins of this institutionalization project. |
