Abstract
The objective of this paper is to discuss how the organizational practices in the field of culture constitute the development, promotion and access to rights to culture and to the city in Goiás city, Goiás, Brazil. We bring the theories of the field of Studies Based on Practices (SBP) closer to the Law in order to understand the non-institutionalized legal phenomena of the organizational processes. From a multi-sited ethnography carried out in the Historic Center of the city of Goiás, Goiás, a place classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO between August 2014 and December 2015, we highlight the processes by which organizational practices, as producers of spaces in cities, constitute Rights when recognizing or neglecting the occupation of the urban space by certain social groups. We emphasize how the analysis of organizational processes can contribute to a debate on Rights from a perspective of legal pluralism from the daily life of cities and highlighting the relevance of understanding the occupations of urban spaces as a way of reconfiguring relations between the State and civil society.

The objective of this paper is to discuss how the organizational practices in the field of culture constitute the development, promotion and access to rights to culture and to the city in Goiás city, Goiás, Brazil
Even though the field of Studies Based on Practices (SBP) within the area of Administration had been constituted and strengthened aiming at discussing how the organizations occur in different social contexts, such studies still lack theoretical deepening regarding their capacity of social, critical analysis (COURPASSON, 2017; CZARNIAWSKA, 2013)
We identified a cultural event which occurred in Goiás city on May 2015, called Afoxé,[7] whose dynamics is the focus of this paper, leading us to discuss the extension of the action of cultural organizations in the city regarding the promotion of rights
Summary
The consolidation of the SBP in the area of Administration (GOLSHORKI et al, 2010; SCHATZKI, 2006) has provided this field of studies with relevant debates in terms of defining the concepts of practices and their respective distinctions of theoretical approaches as well as emphasized the need of an advance of the critical analysis which the concept of practice may enable within the scope of organizational analyses. The objective of this paper is to deepen such debates by arguing that the practices producing the organizations support social struggles which constitute rights This is because, according to Certeau (2008), the spaces, including organizational ones, are not established in the certainty of neutrality. As stated by Cardoso de Oliveira (2010), Herrera Flores (2009) and Schuch (2009), we should think of the Law as social struggles, how this interpretation can help us understand, in the scope of Administration, that the practices constituting the organizations and produced based on this political dimension of the society may be thought to produce and promote rights? In order to move forward in this discussion, the section of this paper presents a debate on the field of the Law from an anthropological approach
