This essay analyses how educability processes influence the construction of the cultural identity of Rio Grande do Sul, focusing on the administrations of Alceu Collares, first Black governor (1991–1995), Yeda Crusius, first woman in the position (2007–2011), and Eduardo Leite, present governor openly homosexual (2019–2022; 2023–present). The Gaucho identity has been shaped since the 20th century, adapting to the cultural, political, and social dynamics of each historical context. The consolidated myth projects a predominantly masculine, heterosexual, white, militarized, and ranching-oriented representation and this essay discusses how these leaders positioned themselves within the symbolic and political fields of the state, exploring the possibilities of affirming or re-signifying the Gaucho myth. It concludes that critical and inclusive educational practices can broaden the symbolic representations of regional identity, fostering a dialogue that reflects contemporary diversity.
