O Programa Mais Cultura nas Universidades: uma análise de sua implementação nas Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior brasileiras

Abstract

In Brazil, the State is the main responsible for the culture rights. The State, thus, makes public policies that ensure the citizenship of its members, being one of the strands the cultural dimension (EAGLETON, 2003; RUBIM, 2007a). Therefore, in 2016, the Ministry of Culture established a partnership with the Ministry of Education in order to propitiate a contextualized education based in culture and cultural practices from the places where universities and schools are. According to the Portaria MinC nº 37/2016 (BRASIL, 2016), the Programa Mais Cultura nas Universidades (besides the Programa Mais Cultura nas Escolas and the Programa ProExt Cultura e Arte) integrated the the Programa de Formação Artística e Cultura (PRONFAC). Hence, this research aims to find out how the contemplated projects of the Programa Mais Cultura nas Universidades (Portaria Interministerial MinC/MEC nº 18/2013) are implemented in the Federal Higher Education Institutions. In a specific way, we characterize the setting of the Programa, examine its management processes and the performance of the actors responsible for its implementation. Therefore, we discuss the theoretical frames of analysis of public policies, highlighting theories related to several faces of implementation of public policies, as Sandfort & Moulton (2015) and Moulton and Sandfort (2017). When we mention culture policies and Brazilian public administration, the relationship between governments and culture policies still has the Brazilian tradition of late and discontinued actions (CALABRE, 2007; RUBIM, 2007a). Besides that, the methodological strategy based in collecting information from official documents and interviews made with the officer in charge of implanting the Program in the 18 Federal Higher Education Institutions selected by the funding. Thus, the analysis and the treatment of the information occurred by: a) assortment; b) classification; e, c) analisys (MINAYO, 2009). Therefore, we noted that the implementation of the Programa Mais Cultura nas Universidades occurred by the thread of multiple relations between institutions and actors distributed in the country. Although there were participations of private organizations, non-governmental organizations or civil actors, the Federal Higher Education Institutions had an elemental role in the implementation of the Program. As they were susceptible to the conditions played by the State, the implementation of the Program did not remain during the time in function of the difficulties of executing the budget, so that the consecution of the projects were hardly compromised
