Sumario:This paper analyzes, on the one hand, the construction of the policies on intangible cultural heritage in Brazil. On the other hand, it maps the disputes that emerge from the implementation of such policies through a case study on the patrimonialization of the religious use of ayahuasca. In the first part of the paper, we describe the emergence and consolidation of public policies on intangible cultural heritage in the country. Then, we map the disputes surrounding the recognition of the religious use of ayahuasca as intangible heritage of Brazilian culture and the repercussions of the recent protagonism of indigenous peoples in the debate. Thus, the article invests in two central objectives. To understand the construction and consolidation of policies on intangible heritage from the convergence of a series of social, historical and institutional processes. To show that the subsequent process of implementation of such policies can give rise to the emergence of a new set of dynamics, tensions and claims unforeseen in the projects of the proponents of public policies.
