For the interpretation of cultural policies missionary held a study of projects in national, state and regional level, where it was possible to observe the insertion of the Jesuit Missions of the Guarani in Brazilian cultural planning. In the context of the policies studied, we tried to analyze through cultural projects and regional tourism, are formed as the narratives of identity construction missionary. As result of the dissertation highlights the exposure of a "vision" not essentialized on regional identity construction, which allowed the perception of denaturalized conception of culture and identity within the context of cultural projects.
