The research aims to defend the thesis that patrimonialization must be perceived as a socially and historically defined field, starting from the sociological perspective by Pierre Bourdieu. Patrimonialization, therefore, would constitute itself as a field marked by a specific economy of values, which both enshrines and excludes cultural assets to be taken as heritage in a community. To defend this postulated, the place of neo-Gothic architecture in Pernambuco was researched within this economy of values in the field of patrimonialization throughout the 20th century, seeking monitor changes and continuations in the configuration of this field, paying attention to the agents, habitus, doxas and values involved, without losing sight of the discourses and practices of consecration, as well as those of exclusion. To this end, a diversity of documentary sources associated with the multiple agents involved in this social microcosm: State institutions, private associations and individuals from the civil society.
