Abstract (Translated): 
The article's purpose is to make a conjuncture analysis in order to understand what is the cultural policy's crisis. To this end, we make considerations about the historical evolution of the culture's institutional structure over decades of development, accumulation and continuity. Cultural policies are strongly marked by the expansion of autonomous cultural institutions, such as the National Library created in 1810, Iphan created in 1937, or Funarte in 1975, among many others. The Ministry of Culture (MinC)'s creation, in 1985, gave unity and opened the possibility for coordination to a group of institutions present in the federal public power's action scenario and the 1988's Federal Constitution opened space for the idea of cultural rights and Federative Cultural State. The Federal Culture System's creation in 2005, the constitutionalization of the National Culture Plan in 2010 and the National Culture System in 2012 formally constituted other instruments for cultural coordination and planning. Thus, amidst comings and goings, the hypothesis of incremental consolidation of a policy of cultural public policies can be considered. The effort to interpret the current conjuncture comes amid the uncertainty about the country's direction of the structuring cultural policies with the end of the MinC and the adverse context of injuries and artistic class's defamations. By presenting the various cultural policies currently underway so far in Brazil, we show the misconception of some sectors of public opinion in reducing MinC's actions to the framework of tax renunciation and in producing a slanderous rationality of the artistic and cultural milieu.
