Gauchos are identified as a people with remarkable singularities and differences: south-rio-grandenses are, before, gauchos and, later, Brazilians. Soil and climate contribute to this identity construction. In this sense, the musician and writer Vitor Ramil highlights the importance of an “aesthetic of the cold”, which would characterize this space and its culture. The cold, defining the gaucho (as a significant of sul-rio-grandense), would produce a definitive metaphor, mainly because it touches all inhabitants of Rio Grande do Sul, in its heterogeneity, a pampas and mountain people, native and immigrant indigenous people, rural and urban, of snow and minuano. This work has as main objective to analyze the “aesthetics of the cold”. Such a macro-analysis will serve as a specific objective to investigate the Gaucho identity.
