Abstract

Cultural policies for Intangible Heritage are based on the principle of the management of these assets by owners of knowledge and society. However, it is still a challenge to build criteria for shared management actions for the field of museums and heritage. Therefore, the article aims to understand how Bonfil Batalla's Theory of Cultural Control contributes to thinking about these practices in museums and collections bound to assets of intangible nature. Musealization is understood as a set of info-communication procedures; and
Intangible Heritage is understood as a set of expressions, traditions, and knowledge, which are the basis of the identities of communities, passed on through generations. The work is structured as a theoretical debate and concludes that the Theory of Cultural Control shows itself as a framework for thinking about intangible heritage cultural policies, by allowing the construction of criteria based on the population's ability to make decisions about these assets.
