Zusammenfassung: | Abstract This paper examines Venezuela’s audio-visual sector and its cultural and media policies during the Chávez Era (1999-2013). Accordingly, this analysis essentially emphasises how Chávez’s perception of the absence of representation concerning Venezuelan popular culture served as the basis for proposing a remodelling of cultural and media policies. Bearing in mind this scenario, we point out that this initiative took place in order to rescue, promote and appreciate national distinctiveness and to stimulate the population’s inclusion and social development. In this sense, we indicate that the reconstitution of Venezuela’s social fabric took place through a new, important and original agenda of cultural and/or audio-visual goods. Also, we suggest that, to a certain extent, the same process took place in Latin America.
Resumo Esse artigo examina o setor audio-visual da Venezuela e suas políticas culturais e de mídia durante a Era Chávez (1999-2013). Consequentemente, essa análise enfatiza, essencialmente, como a percepção de Chávez sobre a falta de representação em relação à cultura popular venezuelana serviu de base para propor reformas políticas de cultura e mídia. Tendo em mente este cenário, ressaltamos que essa iniciativa se deu com o objetivo de resgatar, promover e valorizar a especificidade nacional e estimular a inclusão da população e o desenvolvimento social. Nesse sentido, apontamos que a reconstituição do tecido social da Venezuela se daria por meio de uma nova, importante e original agenda de bens culturais e/ou audiovisuais. Além disso, sugerimos que, até certo ponto, haveria a mesma possibilidade na América Latina. |
