O papel do Plano Nacional de Cultura (PNC) para a garantia dos direitos culturais no Brasil: análise das metas do PNC como instrumento de acesso a equipamentos culturais

Abstract

Brazil, a country characterized by, among other aspects, an abundance of cultural diversity, faces significant challenges in terms of valuing its cultural heritage and formulating public policies capable of truly incorporating such diversity. Likewise, the cultural sector in the country faces historical challenges, such as socioeconomic and regional inequalities, which hinder democratic and equal access to cultural spaces, in addition to the discontinuity of public policies. In order to materialize the importance of guiding the construction of policies aimed at culture, the National Culture Plan was created, a priority implementation instrument of the Federal Government and a guide for cultural public policies over a multi-year period, as provided for in the Federal Constitution. In this context, this paper proposes a legal analysis of the role of the PNC in protecting and encouraging access to culture, examining its implementation and the structural obstacles that hinder cultural enjoyment in the country. Through it, we seek to understand the role of the PNC in achieving cultural rights, with a focus on the right to access culture through the enjoyment of cultural facilities. To this end, the research uses a bibliographic review and documentary analysis of official data to investigate the history of the PNC, its principles, guidelines and goals, with special attention to the democratization of access to cultural facilities, as well as the form of implementation and the main reasons that hindered its effective implementation at the national level. The study details seven specific goals to expand access and stimulate cultural citizenship, addressing the relevance of the Plan in guaranteeing cultural rights in Brazil. The research is pure, qualitative in nature, with descriptive and exploratory purposes.
