Políticas culturais e financiamento público: estudo sobre a recepção do modelo de renúncia fiscal para o setor da cultura no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

The present research had as by object the reception of the fiscal renunciation policy in the state of Rio Grande do Norte and in the municipality of Natal. Created in 1986, through the Sarney Law (n° 7,505 / 86), the model described was developed as a way that the State found to remove from itself the responsibility for the industry's investment in comment, since it is transferred to the private ents the decisions about the cultural financing, by means of tax deductions granted to it. After the Sarney Law came into force, the Rouanet Law (n° 8,313 / 1991), which has operated up to the present day, came into force and served as a mirror for states and municipalities to create their local cultural legislations. In the state of Rio Grande do Norte, have the Câmara Cascudo Law (n° 7999/1999) and, in its capital, Natal, the Djalma Maranhão Law (n° 4,838 / 1997), both acting as the main responsible for local cultural financing . In this perspective, the present research aimed to reflect on the reception of said policy in the cultural production of the city of Natal - RN. An empirical research was carried out in which managers, producers and cultural groups were interviewed at the local level, mainly a reflection about the sufficiency or not of this financing model for the local cultural productive chain. Finally, the research concluded the insufficiency of the politics analyzed in the face of the reality of the local cultural production, reason that is justified by the lack of interest of the business class towards the cause of the cultural patronage and, mainly, by the absence of campaigns of sensitization and stimuli so that this class opened up more possibilities for cultural support, which should be managed by the organs of supervision and promotion of the local culture sector.
