Summary: | We live in an environment consisted of events, symbols, artifacts and individuals which understand and express itself through different dimensions, levels and interaction conditions. A world of meanings that man weaves within multiple dimensions of time/space, culture and seen as being central to the social macro and microcosmos, with their actions, relationships and institutions. The Mission Region of Rio Grande do Sul, whose cultural basis of the social formation Seven Guarani indigenous people by the Spanish and Jesuit priests during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is an example of recursion culture over time/space. By linking culture and institutions this study is to understand which are the responsibilities of cultural institutions in shaping cultural production. Methodologically the study was configured through bibliographic, documentary and interviews with individuals belonging to certain regional research institutions. A conclusive answer is that the cultural institution is a structured, multidimensional and a chain of social relations extended in time and space, established from common values and procedures together, acting as a structuring mechanism of behavior and cultural practices, and attributing to it the characteristics of regulation, standardization, cognition, legitimation, mediation and organization of existing cultural production processes.
