Análise das políticas públicas culturais na cidade de São Borja – Rio Grande do Sul de 2005-2015: avanços e retrocessos

Abstract

This paper discusses the various theoretical-conceptual contributions on the relationship between cultural policies and human development. Entitled "Analysis of Cultural Public Policies in the City of São Borja - Rio Grande do Sul from 2005 to 2015: advances and Retreats". The research aims to identify and analyze the characteristics of the implementation of public policies for the cultural area in small municipalities, using as object of study the municipality of São Borja, identifying the proposals of cultural policies implemented. Having as problematic: How are institutions and cultural actions contributing to the implementation of cultural policies in São Borja? The hypothesis raised seeks to verify if only the increase of financial resources would generate greater results in the execution of cultural policies in small municipalities. Thus, descriptive, bibliographic, documentary and electronic research techniques were employed. The data were extracted from the databases of institutional structures and the main cultural projects developed at national, state and municipal level. With the interpretation of these data, we could have a sample of how the municipalities implemented the National System of Culture (CNS) and the fulfillment of the goals of the National Plan of Culture (PNC), planned from 2005, beginning of our temporal cut. At the end of the study, it was possible to evaluate that in small municipalities, such as São Borja, difficulties are encountered regarding the access to financial and human resources to assist in the implementation of the sub-local policy structure. We find that municipal management, despite scarce resources, articulates proposals, traces paths, seeks instruments and consolidates actions, which resulted in projects in partnership with the Union, the State, as well as other actions carried out with the help of private initiative.
