| Summary: | [EN] The article presents a brief overview of some of the main historical contributions to the definition of culture, analyzing the semantic field that encompasses the notion. Delving into conceptions that range from culture as a form of personal cultivation to understanding the role of culture as a colonizing agent, it seeks to clarify the political genealogy of the notion of culture. At the same time, the potential of culture as an institutional tool for instruction and social transformation will be explored. We are going to verify how culture understood as civilization and progress was imposing the imaginary of institutional culture, focused on heritage management and the cultivation of the population. And how, the advent of 'culture as a right' consolidates the patrimonial vision of culture, while gradually opening up to sensitivity for cultural diversity, to discourses around development, creativity and concern for inequality cultural. We consider that the different notions of culture have different consequences when they become transformed into cultural policies. To finish the article, it asks about the role that culture can have, understood as a transforming entity, in democratic sense. |
