Patrimônio imaterial e turismo: a cultura gastronômica do agnolini

Abstract

Initially we present the theoretical and documental rescue on the Cultural Heritage of Intangible Nature that is the focus of the dissertation. Following the ideas of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO and the research method proposed by IPHAN of the Inventário Nacional de Referências Culturais INRC. We chose to investigate whether Agnolini, as manifestation of the gastronomy of the Italian Colonization Region in Serra Gaúcha, RS, Brazil, could be characterized as intangible cultural reference in terms of INRC. Thus the methods used in the process were bibliographic and documental research, the technique of ethnography and oral history and the application of a questionnaire about crafts and ways of making , as suggested by the INRC. The epistemological basis of the discussions is the Anthropology following the light of the interpretation. The research proposes the insertion of the intangible cultural heritage in Tourism studies particularly in the Cultural Tourism.
