Resumo
This thesis takes Karl Marx's Dialectic Historical Materialism to argue that the
production of culture is social, and as such, cultural production and achievements can
only be understood from its derived relationship with the material form of economic
production. It develops culture as a "form" connected to and conformed to other forms,
such as political and juridical, within the social totality, from which it dialectically
achieves its relative autonomy and occupies the constitutive spaces of general
sociability. Thus, the imminently ideological character of the cultural form, synthesized
in its manifestations and of its philosophical, religious, educational and artistic strata, is
directly correlated, by derivation, with the mode of economic material production,
historically determined as to the development of the productive forces and their
technical organization. The history of humanity has been the history of production, of
the development of its techniques and of pertinent and specific social relations,
collective, to produce in the conditions given the goods and supplies necessary for
human survival. For thousands of years, however, given that want has far outweighed
human needs, those relationships among men have always been the repetition of class
domination, that is, the fierce struggle for many to work productively for the enrichment
of only a few - the result being that only a tiny part of humanity has been able to enjoy
creative idleness. It is argued that contemporaneously, due to the high degree of technoscientific
development, material production creates the conditions for millions of
individuals to be freed from labour in the moulds of commodity production, which is
inexorable, the dismissal of wage labour and the exponential and widespread increase in
"available labour time". This "available work time" is structural of the capital
accumulation regime, according to the General Law of Value proposed by Marx in the
final studies of Capital - this means that in a global way we are witnessing the apex of
the dismissal of wage-earning work from industry and the services that carry out
commercial production, and that in a generalized way, cultural activities tend to grow,
social movements and artistic achievements, even if under a scenario of neglect of
rights, of discouragement and poverty due to unemployment, and extreme concentration
of total social wealth. In this scenario, it is culture that best embarks on potentiality as
regards liberation from the regime of accumulation and the mode of regulation of
capital - this because, due to its creative potentiality, far from the specialization and
partitioned discipline of commodity production, man can, as a generic social being,
(re)link creative activity to the critical practice of doing for himself
