This study aims to identify the influence of cultural capital in taste and consumption of music, TV and cinema of the population of Lavras-MG. To this end, a descriptive quantitative survey was conducted, in which were applied a total of 400 questionnaires (for a significance level of 95% and a 5.0% error). The analytical methods used were correlation analysis (between cultural capital of the interviewee with interval variables of the questionnaire) and frequency analysis. The results show that the cultural capital influences the differences in taste on the fields of music, television and cinema. It is assumed, therefore, that the consideration of this factor is relevant to the understanding of cultural consumption in these fields. It is emphasized that the realization of this study will contribute to the spread of cultural consumption and status consumption in the field of humanities and social sciences, given that this topic is still little explored in these areas. Moreover, the results enable to obtain results adapted to Brazilian context, since most studies performed this analysis in the European or North American context.Downloads
