FANTINEL, Letícia Dias. Some questions to think about political culture in Brazil. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.21, pp. 15-28. ISSN 2175-1390.

This article brings some important aspects about political culture in Brazil, taking into consideration the socio-historical matrix of Brazilian society, thinking about elements of culture and political culture. We present a research agenda that focuses on dialogues between Political Science and Anthropology, using a cultural perspective to understand the Brazilian reality. Historical and cultural aspects that contribute to the interpretations of this political culture, often characterized as non-participatory are brought into analysis, which reflects, in general, the apathy and alienation of the political process in Brazil.
