We assume that efforts to protect intangible cultural heritage imply the privatization of culture and tradition andits consequent association with factors of income generation. Having it in mind we investigate a process ofsafeguarding of an intangible asset which recently has been designated intangible heritage of the Brazilianculture: the traditional confectionery of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul state. Through documentary researchon the efforts to preserve heritage and empirical data collected in ethnographic research, both related tothe context of the preservation of intangible heritage in Brazil, we came to findings that expose problemsinvolving the transformation of the organizational practices related to the intangible cultural heritage as analternative to the preservation of local cultural traditions.
