This article aims to examine the ways in which efforts to protect intangible cultural heritage interfere with organizational practices associated with its production and reproduction over time. We assume that efforts to protect intangible cultural heritage involve the privatization of culture and tradition and their consequent association with factors of income generation. With this in mind, we investigated a process of safeguarding an intangible asset that has recently been designated as the intangible heritage of Brazilian culture: the traditional confectionery of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Through documentary research on efforts to preserve the heritage and empirical data collected in ethnographic research, both related to the context of intangible heritage preservation in Brazil, we have reached conclusions that expose problems related to the transformation of organizational practices and the parameters of preservation of local cultural traditions.
