Abstract

The paper analyses the relations between activists organized in three Anarchist Federations at Rosario (Argentina), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Porto Alegre (Brazil), stimulated by the historical (and geographical) symbolic-cultural and political proximity among the countries of the Plata and the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. First I contextualize the investigation that presented such results, the concept in construction regionophilia, and the emergency of the Anarchists Federations. After, I approach the voices of the activists of the Federations focusing on four topics: the border; the gaucho valuation universe; relations between the gaucha socio-spatial identity, the anarchism and social struggles; and the relations between the three organizations. I end by pondering that the case is an example of anti-nationalist regionophilia and, more specifically, it presents a libertarian regionophilia.
