Abstract
The following article is the result of a research conducted in the archives of the Organization of the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) aiming to determin the origin of what is considered to be Intangible Cultural Heritage.In order to achieve this, I considered intangible heritage as a transnational power dispositive, following the faucouldiansense of the term. Consequently, I based my study on the works of a selection of notorious French anthropologists. Intangibleheritage is a complex cultural phenomenon and when applied to a policy of global range, it results in a juxtaposition of local,national and transnational interests. Its failed emergence as a part of international copyright norms revealed its inconsistencywith the postulate of the Occidental liberal doctrine. However, its recent adoption as a new asset notion seems to create a newrange of possibilities for the interpretation of its value and its multiple political applications.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
