Abstract
In recent years, food cultures have been accompanied by processes of economic and socio-cultural valorization which aretied to global market logics as well as to local dynamics rooted in strong social needs. Considered as resources, these culturalexpressions become vector of projects that go from initiatives in the tourist sector to other ones more ambitious when it comesto socio-economic development strategies at the local level. Peruvian food has integrated a discourse asserting that its heritagefeatures, if based on a balance between conservation and adaptation to international markets, could bring considerablepositive effects on Peru’s economy. In the context of the recent application of Peruvian cuisine to the unesco’s RepresentativeList of Intangible Heritage, and through the analysis of its argumentation, this article invites reflection on the social implicationsbehind the enthusiasm for the heritagization of live-forms.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
