In this aspect two questions are particularly difficult to elucidate: to whom rightly belongs the power to define which cultural objects possess a patrimonial value? Based on what criteria of epistemological pertinence and social legitimation someone -any individual such as oneself- can attribute to himself the power to establish which objects possess a patrimonial value and which ones do not?
