Programa ComCultura

construindo uma gestão pública de cultura na Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro

Abstract

The National Policy of University Extension (2012) points to the need to prioritize actions aimed at the development, production and cultural and artistic valorization as important for the affirmation of national identities and their regional manifestations. Based on this premise, the present analysis aims to present the process of implementing a public management of culture at the Cultural Center of the Federal University of the Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM),State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and, based on the experience, carry out reflections of a practical and theoretical nature pointing out ways for the narrowing of the relations between popular art and culture and the aspects of formation proper to the activity of higher education institutions in Brazil. From a qualitative research, constructed from an online questionnaire with open and closed questions, we present a “cultural mapping” carried out in two moments, in a period of twelve months, with technical administrative servers, teachers, and students. Thus, we discuss the data of this consultation as an empirical basis to evaluate the structuring projects and propose unfolding of the cultural actions, in extension context, aiming at a more open university to the production, fruition and formation from a point of view of a culture policy that values the diversity and the intercultural dialogues.
