REDES E ATIVISMO EM POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS: a construção da Política Nacional de Educação Museal (PNEM)

Abstract

This article aims to present the result of a theoretical-empirical research on the process of construction of the National Policy of Museum Education (PNEM). Published at the end of 2017, PNEM consolidates the wishes of museum edu- cators for museological institutions and processes aimed at the education of its audiences. Its construction reveals a network at the national level, involving subnetworks and local actors, whose roles of policy makers and implementers coincide. The activism of key actors, policy-makers, with transit in the gover- nmental structures, respond by the strategy of activation of the network. Using documentary analysis and observation, the article describes this construction process and seeks to analyze it from the point of view of the governance of public policy networks. It seeks to broaden the understanding of the potential and limits of such arrangements, pointing to the performative character of the network when confronted with literature.
