Abstract

The work contributes to the research on Cultural Policies in Brazil, especially in relation to interdisciplinary fields such as the Solidarity Economy and Pontos de Cultura. We present a study highlighting bibliographical references of these areas, some information and cultural indicators, and, finally, a case demonstration about the “Ponto de Cultura Clube Social 24 de Agosto” in the city of Jaguarão in Rio Grande do Sul, through a qualitative interview in depth with Neir Madruga, main reference. Self-management, shared management, horizontality, as well as the difficulties inherent in the bureaucratization of the sector were observed through the transfer of funds, accountability and judicial processes.
