Abstract

Considering the symbolic representations shaped by the public power and by prevalent social groups, the present article has the objective of understanding the political-identity relationships engendered through the construction movement of symbols of the state of Tocantins, as they are assimilated and assumed by the social sphere. Among those symbols, the sunflower is singular and distinctive; the state political influence has helped making it prominent among the official symbols of the nature of Tocantins. It has been transformed into a tradition for the future generations, especially because of the efforts of projecting memories of a recent past.
