Abstract

This is a study on the festival of  Sant’Ana in Rio do Engenho, Ilheus, Bahia, Brazil. This festival, seen as intangible heritage, contributes to the affirmation of cultural identities and revitalization of traditions. For the discussion of theoretical concepts, we start with the idea of identity issues (Hall, 2005) and cultural heritage (London, 2004), observing memory issue (Pollak, 1989, Nora, 1992). Based on these theoretical assumptions, this study will contribute to the promotion of cultural assets through the description and discussion of the elements of memory - individual and collective.
