RESUMO

This research seeks to understand the fonnulation process of the "maranhense" identity, infonned by historicalIy distinct symbolic configurations. From an investigation in the city of Sao Luis, politics, narratives and institutions are considered in the way they affinn differentiation and similarities between Maranhao and Brasil - that is, between region and nation. The analysis focuses the current experiences that confonn this identity, the structure of social relations, the history and the negotiations around the meanings that confer senses of "being maranhense". AlI these questions are identified in the popular parties, promoted by cultural institutions for the locaIs as welI as for the toOOsts, higWighting political, econornical and symbolic disputes that intertwine and emphasizing the distinct agents involved in it. The investigation considers the classification of the cultural production that arrange the erudite and popular values in distinct hierarchies, from which some symbols assume centrality in specific contexts of the identity experience. In this process, the tradition articulates past and present and chooses - among a repertoire of available meanings - what will be remembered and what will be forgotten. The differences and inequalities are noticed and can be articulated within different levels of belonging, although in these articulations it can be noticed as welI what is shared as "maranhense", even of the meanings that confer this sense had varied through time
