Políticas públicas e desenvolvimento: a implementação do sistema municipal de cultura em Campina Grande - PB

Abstract

The present study aims to describe and analyse Campina Grande’s Municipal System of Culture. The study concerns an investigation regarding the management actions performed to implant and operate, locally, the National Culture Plan, provisioned in article 215 of the Federal Constitution and created by the Law nº 12.343/2010. In such a plan, culture is considered in its symbolic, economic, and civil expression. It assumes that the full operationalization of the cultural policy depends on the implantation of a systemic model of cooperative management among the federal entities: Union (Federal Government), State and Municipalities, until December 2nd, 2020. The system’s structure was identified and the organograms, the developed activities, and the legal and institutional competences of the Culture Secretariat were detailed, as well as those of the Cultural Policy Council; those of the Culture Conference; Culture Plan; and those belonging to the Local Culture Financing System. As a guiding hypothesis, this study understood the disarticulation among the federal entities and the consequent delay in the adoption of systems of culture, as a cause for possible substantial losses in the National Cultural Policy, generating negative impacts on the social, economic, and cultural development of the country. In order to verify the hypothesis, this dissertation performed a bibliographic and documental survey, that presented qualitative and quantitative data regarding the researched object, having as main references the contributions of Chauí (2012), Furtado (1984), Rubim (2007), and Sen (2000). Finally, it concludes that Campina Grande’s Municipal System of Culture is still incomplete and, therefore, has not achieved goal number 1 of the National Culture Plan.
