The institutionalization of Brazilian cultural policies after the military dictatorship (1985–2016)
Cultural policies in Brazil have experienced both advances and setbacks in a predominantly undemocratic institutional environment. The fact that a large part of the population has been constantly deprived of their basic rights has undermined the monitoring and social control of public policies. Within this context, culture, seen historically as a luxury, has been considered relatively unimportant and the policy analyses dedicated to it have not k…

The article examines how this social change has affected…
