Setorial Panorama of Brazilian Culture - 2011|2012

From classic to popular
In the first meetings of the group of professionals invited to participate in the execution
of the project that was announced as revealing the Brazilian cultural scene, it was still
impalpable the concrete idea of its permeability in a wide, diverse, multicultural territory.
From the elaborate proposal, however, the significant number of interviews with people
from the most diverse sectors that would give the direction of the conclusions instigated me
to its understanding like the dream project of someone who has long breathed culture.
From the discussions about the conceptualization of the project to the composition
of the groups of interviewees, from the intensive reading of academic papers to the rereading
of interviews and definition of the strategies to contemplate, in the publication, the
quantity and quality of the information collected, everything was a work of effective
leadership and of the cohesive team that unveiled the possibility of showing clearly and
precisely, in words and numbers, the current position of our culture.
Comprehensive, Sectorial Panorama of Brazilian Culture in its first edition opens up
a perspective for the continuity of updating its data, according to the dynamics of culture
itself.
I want to thank for the opportunity to share the work of Panorama.

A new look
It is with great satisfaction that we participate in the Sectorial Panorama of Brazilian
Culture project. The socioeconomic development that has taken place in Brazil in the last
decades, together with the intensification of investments in the country, generate a new look at
the thinking and the relation of the Brazilian citizen to cultural valorization. This process is
reflected in the entire productive chain of culture, stimulating cultural production and,
consequently, investment.
These changes in the Brazilian scenario and the heterogeneity of our culture result in a
challenge that instigates MC15 to contribute in the search for knowledge regarding the
relations that permeate the Productive Chain of Culture.
