Abstract

The communication and cultural scenes at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) was, until 2002, not one of the most encouraging. With the degradation of the Public University during the years of the President Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC) administration, where among the administrative priorities the focus was on “making the classroom feasible”, these sectors became so orphaned that their structures in the Federal University of São Carlos were no more than a few employees and no audiovisual equipment. However, with the transformations, both in education as well as in culture, affected by the President Luiz Inácio da Silva (Lula) government and the initiatives of Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil, a feeling of new energy has begun to take hold of the University.
