Abstract

Motivated by the announcement of the Barão do Rio Branco Program (PBRB), which foresees infrastructure works in the North Channel of the Amazon River, this article examines how culture has been addressed, or ignored, in the economic development plans implemented by the Brazilian State since the 1960’s. A bibliographical and documental review of the trajectory of the development planning in the Amazon, as well as the trajectory of the cultural rights, reveals that the marked ambiguity in the treatment of culture in successive programs and projects, or as a benefit or as an obstacle to development, continually threatens Brazilian cultural diversity. Despite being recurrent, however, the neglect of cultural rights in the PBRB innovates associating them with the delay, and explicitly suggests their revocation.
