Abstract

This article aims to conduct a critical reflection, starting from bibliographical sources, about the process of growing and consolidation of cultural industry in Brazil and the relations between those processes and a new stage for the country entering a monopolistic capitalism. To do so, we first try to analyze the period when this kind of organization grew in importance in advanced capitalist nations and the role it played in the building of class hegemony. After that, we deal with the specificity of the Brazilian experience to implant and consolidate cultural industries, and we suggest some possibilities for further reflections. The prevailing theoretical perspective of analysis is that of Political Economy of the Communication.
