It aims to contribute to the knowledge of the origins of the Arab immigration in the state, the periods in which immigrants arrived, their places of fixation, the activities they carried out, the sociability?s they built, the institutions they founded, especially in Porto Alegre. The analysis is based on the use of diverse sources, such as books and periodicals; primary source documentation gathered in historical archives and museums; interviews; academic, memoirist and biographical literature; as well as websites and electronic documentation found on the internet. From a methodological point of view, the use of oral history as a privileged instrument for the production, analysis and interpretation of data and information made possible collected and highlight testimonies given by Arab descendants residing in Rio Grande do Sul. To situate the Levantine immigrant of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in a Middle East plunged in transnational issues, the work initially addresses the period of disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, the implementation of the French Mandate in Syria and Lebanon as well as the consequences of such fate in Porto Alegre. The independence of Lebanon and Syria in the 1940's closes the research chronological period. It was tried to demonstrate how these immigrants, coming from the Middle East, inserted and adapted in Rio Grande do Sul amid an environment dominated by other more numerous migratory waves, how they manage building their spaces of sociability?s and its path. The main result of the research was the certainty that the greatest asset of the Syrian and Lebanese descendants is the belonging to the gaucho culture, which they are inserted, without, however, loose their Lebanese or Arab identity, with all the meanings and representations that this implies. / Esta tese refere-se ? hist?ria e ? mem?ria da imigra??o s?rio-libanesa no Rio Grande do Sul, no per?odo que vai do ?ltimo dec?nio do s?culo XIX at? a d?cada de 1940, mais precisamente entre os anos de 1890 e 1949, lapso temporal que corresponde a duas gera??es de imigrantes, entre sua chegada ao pa?s, adapta??o ? nova terra e integra??o ? cultura ga?cha. Tem como objetivo contribuir para o conhecimento das origens da imigra??o ?rabe no estado, os per?odos em que aqui chegaram os imigrantes, seus locais de fixa??o, as atividades que exerceram, as sociabilidades que constru?ram, as institui??es que fundaram, especialmente em Porto Alegre. A an?lise est? baseada na utiliza??o de fontes diversas, tais como livros e artigos de peri?dicos; documenta??o prim?ria reunida em arquivos hist?ricos e museus; entrevistas; literatura acad?mica, memorialista e de cunho biogr?fico; al?m de sites e documenta??o eletr?nica encontrados na internet. Do ponto de vista metodol?gico, destaca-se a utiliza??o da hist?ria oral como instrumento privilegiado de produ??o, an?lise e interpreta??o de dados e informa??es coletados por meio de depoimentos concedidos ao autor por descendentes de imigrantes ?rabes residentes no Rio Grande do Sul. A fim de situar o imigrante s?rio-liban?s de fins do s?culo XIX e in?cio do XX, num Oriente M?dio mergulhado em quest?es transnacionais, o trabalho aborda inicialmente o per?odo de desintegra??o do Imp?rio Otomano, a implementa??o do Mandato Franc?s na S?ria e no L?bano no come?o da d?cada de 1920 e as suas consequ?ncias no Rio Grande do Sul, at? as independ?ncias desses pa?ses no fim da d?cada de 1940. Procurou-se demonstrar quem s?o e de que forma esses imigrantes oriundos do Oriente M?dio se organizaram e se inseriram no Rio Grande do Sul, onde se estabeleceram quando chegaram e de que forma constru?ram suas sociabilidades. Tudo isso em meio a um ambiente dominado por outras levas migrat?rias mais numerosas. O principal resultado da pesquisa foi a certeza de que o maior patrim?nio dos descendentes de imigrantes s?rios e libaneses ? o pertencimento ? cultura ga?cha, com a qual se identificaram, sem, no entanto, deixarem de se reconhecer como libaneses ou ?rabes, com todos os significados e representa??es que isso implica.
