The evaluation in scientific research and official documents is recognized as an integral instrument of public management and as an improvement of public policies, especially since the 1990s. This research is proposed precisely, in the light of a reflection on public policies for culture , to evaluate the trajectory of the Law of the RPV - Record of Living Heritage in the RN, which grants lifetime grants to artistic groups or artists who, with more than 20 years of experience, have knowledge relevant to the production and preservation of aspects of popular culture. The conceptual framework adopted enables the combination of multiple theoretical contributions, allowing the interweaving between theory and practice. It is a qualitative approach, designed as a documentary study to evaluate the trajectory of the RPV-RN Law, between 2007 and 2017, following some techniques of trajectory evaluation in Gussi (2008) and the evaluation of public policies, in Figueiredo and Figueiredo (1986), Stake (1999), Draibe (2001), Silva (2001), among others. Given the complexity of the topic, other areas of knowledge were also called upon to support the analysis, such as the theoretical and methodological contribution of the Social Sciences, with reflections in several categories, such as Bourdieu's (2003) trajectory conception, for the objectification of relations between agents and forces present in the field, as well as other categories present in the formulation of the Law, such as culture, tradition, memory and intangible heritage, based on the reflections of various authors. The research is justified by its greater purpose of contributing to the diffusion and preservation of intangible cultural heritage in the RN, deriving knowledge for future generations, and even assuming the pretense of not interfering in the perceptions of the implementers of this preservationist policy in a reality particular in the light of this evaluation. The conclusions reached point to the understanding that the determinations and contradictions present in the implementation of the RPV-RN, evidences the meanings of its essence for the construction of knowledge.
