A comparative analysis of the cultural field in Portugal and Brazil - the cultural sector in Portugal

Abstract

This Work Project conducts a comprehensive analysis of the cultural fields of Portugal and Brazil, with specific focus on their interrelation and the corresponding culture supporting Laws, Rouanet and Mecenato. Through the highlighting of differences and correlations, disparities in direct investment, cultural employment and the link between the Human Development Index and cultural activities are revealed. Evaluating the effectiveness of the Rouanet Law in Brazil, it underscores economic impacts, regional disparities, and challenges stemming from excessive dependence. A comparative study of Portugal’s Mecenato Law reveals inefficiencies, signaling a need for revision.
