Hegemonic Culture and Power, the Survival of Other Cultures

Abstract

This work briefly exposes the power relations that exist between economic elites with culture and arts, making a situational analysis of the cultures that exist outside the hegemonic culture, the same ones that mostly represent the majority of societies. In addition, there are problems that arise from these relationships; such as the media at the service of power and the economic groups that they represent; As part of this, reference is also made to social media and the fictitious democratization of cultural diffusion. The final part of this work presents the current situation of other cultures and their survival during the time of COVID 19 and its consequences in the area of culture and the arts.
