as an axis of national cultural policies, but this didn´t broke an financing-the-arts
perspective hegemony.
ARTS MANAGEMENT IN ARGENTINA
• Society with high cultural capital
• Material heritage highlighted at the regional level (urbanistic,
architectonic, etc.)
•Impossibility to live from culture and arts outside the cultural
industry circuit (largely denationalized)
• Growing profesional field and formative instances. Lack of
professionalization.

SOME REGIONAL TRENDS IN CULTURAL POLICIES
In the first years of the century, the incide nce of Brazilian cultural policies marked a
regional trend.
The Cultura Viva programme, structured on the Puntos de Cultura, which recognized
pre-existing diverse cultural initiatives facilitating financiation, strengthening, training
and networking, was rapidly spreading over all South America, reaching state-level
policies in Perú, Uruguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Ecuador.
Even though we can not speak of a South American model of cultural policy
(Zamorano and Rius, 2016) there are common elements and a orientation to act as a
strategic dimension in Global South cooperation.
