The cultural plans implementation in the state and city of São Paulo: history, construction and challenges

Abstract

The implementation process of cultural plans in the federated entities
are a relevant part of the structure of the National Culture System, which
depends on them to compose the territorial decentralization, diversity
and the logic of subsidiarity of the proposal. In this paper we present
a detailed overview with the intention to demonstrate two different
processes that occurred in the same region of the country and which,
in many times, had similar agents, both from government and civil
society. We will deal with the processes from the historical observation,
reporting how their construction occurred in each federated entity. We
will focus in what the activities and difficulties faced by both political and
bureaucratic issues that have been impeding the full implementation of
these territorial culture systems. The activities promoted by the militancy
movements of culture to try to reverse attempts to dismantle will also be
highlighted in order to understand the architectonic and tensions in the
composition of the system.
