Resumo

The aim of this paper is to present and discuss a case study on how the notions of culture used by residents of a small town of São Paulo State, Santa Rosa de Viterbo, influence and participate of the formation and legitimation of local cultural heritage. Noting the polysemy of this word, interviews were conducted to verify the social representations of a determined group of inhabitants about what is considered culture and can be understood as heritage in this city. From two examples, which are the Symphonic Band and the University Week, we discuss how the same definition of culture can produce different effects depending on the social subjects and the environments in which it is used. 2
