Abstract
Since 1938 the Nation Torchy Relay (NTR) has been a cultural practice together with all the other Nation’s Week celebrations where the Brazil’s Independence Day is celebrated. Our study is base on the Cultural History scope; it aims to comprehend how the establishment of the NTR occurred in Porto Alegre city and also how the NTR developed in the period from 1938 to 1947. Using printed and oral sources, we comprehended that the NTR can be considered an appropriation of the Olympic Torchy Relay. The social and cultural context of Porto Alegre city and the Brazilian national political context contributed to this cultural practice’s appearance and settlement; in those times the Brazilian national identity has being established. Thus, the NTR can be seen as one of the nationalization actions of the country that was produced in the sports and cultural fields.Downloads
