Experience intertwines diverse pasts of a built-in practice, represented, institutionalized, and transmitted by generations and institutions. Expectation is the present future, which can only be predicted from the experiences of its participants, whose action and social intervention are decisive for the continuity of this cultural practice. In this article, I question the power relations associated with the processes of institutionalization and patrimonialization of cultural practices, based on ethnography of historical contextualization of cante alentejano.  a16959752 (ISSN)
