This article is part of a study about conceptual applications, and representations of culture and usage abstracted from writings on the relationship between: rural and urban areas, the climate and behavior, the environment and nature, history and regional development. The texts that served as sources are writings on the state of Parana, especially, the Central South area, which contain the system “faxinais”. Note that the writings of the decades of 1960-70, when local leaders did several actions in order to assert the state's cultural identity, they adopted and sometimes they radicalized notions of culture and usage before used by the subjects involved in the movement of constitution the identity of Paraná, during the 1930’s and 1940’s. The view common to both periods is that the Paraná is the land of the progress, where the culture was represented as a product of the urban-industrial reality, while the common usage and custom is what is produced in the rural environment. We start from the hypothesis that the use of these terms, in a linear and “progressive” perspective, may lead to the depreciation of local realities and especially of the original people.Downloads
