Antropofagia digital: a questão autoral no tempo do compartilhamento

Abstract

The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the conceptual relationship between Antropophagy and Remix Culture, to understand the conflicts in the field of copyright caused by cultural sharing practices, as well as to examine cultural policies developed by the Ministry of Culture during the Lula government, to adjust copyright law to digital culture. Taking as its starting point the Manifesto Antropofágico from Oswald de Andrade, the research sought to understand the metaphor created by the Brazilian poet to investigate how this was appropriated from time to time reaching the 21-century, in the digital context. Like the cannibals Internet users grab the culture in collaborative processes of cultural hybridization. The practices that have emerged with the digitization of culture occur despite copyrights, exploding the notion of authorship, turn it into a shared territory between amateurs and professionals. This reality impacts the way the cultural industry operates, causing a war by copyright. In this conflict, the Brazilian government, through the Ministry of Culture, wins a position of international prominence when it launched the challenge to develop, in conjunction with society, cultural policies to adapt copyright laws to digital culture.
