A essencialidade do direito à cultura como instrumento de promoção do indivíduo

Abstract

This project aims to analyze how the relationship between culture and law are fundamental and essential sources for the development and promotion of individuals. In parallel with the study of this concept, the state’s and international duty to provide cultural access to society will be discussed, as well as exploring the finalities of public policies which promote culture. Cultural Law and the Right to Culture were recognized relatively late-on, in comparison to other rights, both at the national and international levels, by means of international treaties, so, when recognized as fundamental rights, they represent normative laws that express and deal with, both directly and indirectly, with the effective use of these rights, but in hindsight, there still doesn’t have an effective analysis of how cultural promotion, which as explained before, is an essential right, and it positively affects the promotion of the individual/person. By this means, the present project, through the hypothetical-deductive method, and analysis of documents, it will seek to develop a study and research that assesses how the right to culture is essential and fundamental for the empowerment of the individual, and the due importance of policy programs - public to promote the development and social integration.
