Notas sobre o (quase) fechamento de um museu: patrimônio cultural em cenários cambiantes no Brasil

Abstract

In this paper, I try to highlight the reasons behind the threat to a museum related to frevo in Recife -PE, after the recognition of this cultural expression as a Cultural Heritage by IPHAN and UNESCO. Based on an ethnography of some protests and on the recent Brazilian political context analysis, I try to shed light on the challenges regarding the maintenance of cultural equipment and the echoes of the recent crises that we have faced in the heritage field in Brazil at the local levels.
