Abstract: In the Brazilian legal system some tensions are visible in the intersystemic relationship between culture, power and politics. Describing the positions of authors such as Michel Foucault and Mario Vargas Llosa, when discussing the existence of security devices created by governments for control and manipulation of cultural systems in Latin America. Parallel to this, interpreting the mentions of contemporary writer Nicholas Carr and the philosopher Byung-Chul Han, we analyze the potential of the instruments and mechanisms of technological innovation mechanisms used as a form of mockery to the improvement of culture in neoliberal times, new power technique and used as knowledge propagation. On the basis of these premises, the present essay goes beyond interdisciplinary legal analysis, exploring the question of the trivialization of the operant culture system, now seen as entertainment, or disseminated knowledge, within the current Democratic State of Law. The work methodology is of the hypothetical-deductive method, a descriptive study with essentially bibliographical references.
