A utilização dos meios e equipamentos culturais para divulgar a cultura militar e elevar o sentimento de patriotismo e civismo da sociedade

Abstract

The elaboration of this work originated from the observation of the perplexed reaction of the visitors to the Cultural Complex of the Navy, especially the younger ones. The contact with the media and objects on display seemed to take them to a little-known world, bringing vague memories of the lessons of history and a state of total admiration for the traditions and legacy of the Force. This awareness drew attention due to the potential that this type of cultural manifestation has to draw society's attention to the importance of the Armed Forces in the country's past, present and future. In the scope of the work, a survey was carried out with a certain number of people, of different ages, about this perception and also about experiences with the military culture. Therefore, its objective is to analyze how the use of cultural means and equipment can be used to raise the patriotic civic feeling of Brazilian society. The method to be used comprises an individualized study of the characteristics and specificities of each Armed Force, assembling a compilation of the best practices of each one and proposing improvements and innovations in order to group in a document the information that can lead the institutions to standardize procedures, select and preserve the historical heritage in a satisfactory manner, guide on the appropriate methods of raising funds through cultural incentive laws, and mainly expand the involvement with society with the military culture, either by attracting sponsors from the private sector, carrying out educational projects, strengthening ties with the Academy and, above all, increasing the number of visitors to cultural spaces. The expected result is that the information contained in the work will serve as a basis for the elaboration of a Culture policy for the Armed Forces, to be implemented by the newly created Head of Education and Culture subordinated to the Joint Staff of the Armed Forces, in the structure of the Ministry of Defence.
