O cemitério dos degolados de 1923: uma história de exclusão

Abstract

The study aim to approach the Cemitério dos Degolados, located in the city of Santo Augusto, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, from the perspective of its historical relevance and cultural heritage. The cemetery is a result of a conflict of the 1923 Revolution, with characteristics that are contextualized and engendered in the Federalist Revolution (1893-1895), which had a significant impact on the region and left a series of victims. The work involves surveys and bibliographical analyzes found in several sources, such as Google Scholar, academia.edu, ANPUH journals and the city's municipal archives, in order to understand the events that permeate the cemetery, as well as the memory, heritage and the death. By studying the necropolis as a source, it is possible to better understand these historical episodes and preserve the memory of the people who died and were buried during this revolution. The work focuses on the cultural relevance of the cemetery as a consequence and testimony of this event, as well as its value as a historical heritage, which is essential to be preserved.
