Quando a política desafia o policial: etnografia da cultura viva em um ponto de cultura

Abstract

This dissertation is a consequence of a fieldwork accomplished in a “Ponto de Cultura” called: Quilombo do Sopapo, in southern Porto Alegre/RS. First, is presented a theoretical review about the concept of culture and its institutionalization, a revision about Cultural Psychology and its epistemological markers and a retake about Cultural Public Politics History, bringing the context in which the research took place. Therefore, the collected data were systemized in two papers; the first is developed trough the local ethnographic process, showing institutional and personal relations and the entailments of this in the execution of public policies in daily life. The second article presents a formulation of the life trajectories of the interlocutors, establishing a dialogue with theories of subjectivity processes.
