Cultura e universidade: a organização do campo cultural nas instituições públicas de ensino superior da Paraíba.

Abstract

The present article provides an overview of the cultural policies and management of public institutions of higher education in Paraíba, the UFPB, UFCG, IFPB and UEPB. Based on institutional analysis and the report of its authors — all of whom are directly involved in the cultural management of their institutions —, we seek to reflect on the development paths of the cultural field in university administrations and the deepening of institutionality. The debate on the perspective of recognizing culture as the fourth dimension of the constitutive triad of brazilian university is necessary in view of a development process that recognizes the cultural factor as one of its main vectors, in line with local development strategies social, human, educational, cultural, and economic.
