Summary/Abstract: The text is an attempt at familiarising the reader with Diana Taylor’s theory and at demonstrating the ways in which the said theory may be used to analyse the phenomena which refer to non-material heritage. The author analyses the categories, mentioned by Taylor, of the archive and repertoire in the context of research in the national cuisine. She also indicates the practices of the UNESCO which serve the protection of non-material heritage and analyses them in the context of the subject that was selected. The Polish context of research is relevant to the article, therefore the author makes reference to the phenomena and activities which promote Polish national cuisine. The text is an attempt at demonstrating the possibilities of using performative research in the study of cultural heritage.
