Resonances and challenges of the choro patrimonialization process}, abstract = {The article presents the process of instruction to register choro as a cultural heritage by IPHAN, in progress since March 2020. In addition to the challenge of covering the historical and geographic scope of choro, this is the first instruction to register entirely remotely, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim is, therefore, to reflect on the resonances and challenges of the process, which seeks permanent mediation and articulation between, on the one hand, the public sphere and the regulations established by IPHAN and, on the other, sensitive and comprehensive listening to the various demands for participation and recognition by the choro communities. The stages of the research and the methodological decisions that guided it are described, such as the holding of seminars and interviews via online platforms, and the preparation of a collaborative inventory on choro in all regions of the country along four axes (collections, choro associations and clubs, educational actions, rodas and performance venues) which aim to make available a public database on choro.}, volume = {8}, number = {1}, pages = {46-62}, issn = {2359-6910}, doi = {10.24206/lh.v8i1.47592}, }
