Generally speaking, great part of the debate in the cultural sector in Brazil has two main focuses. The first one refers to who is responsible for structuring the field: the State or the market. The second deals with the development of a cultural industry as well as its strategic and marketing propositions. This article adopts a qualitative approach to analyze the influences of the State and of the market on the changes occurred in culture’s organizational field between 1920 and 2002. The results show that the more intense is the presence the State in the field, higher is its complexity and its degree of institutionalization. On the other hand, the more the market is present in the field, the more social actors have difficulty in legitimating themselves. Nevertheless, neither the State nor the market are enough to promote significant changes in the logic that guides the configuration of the cultural field in Brazil, which depends on the dynamics of social-historical elements.
