Overview

The Postgraduate Program in Arts, Culture, and Languages, recommended by Capes in the Arts/Music area and rated level 4, began its activities in March 2013 with the Master’s program.
On April 1st, 2019, the Doctoral program officially began.

Objectives

To build a solid interface between practice and theory that ensures a broad and in-depth intellectual, cultural, and artistic education for researchers qualified for production and teaching, who will be trained by the Program.

One of the main goals is to produce and foster research in arts, culture, and artistic processes within an interdisciplinary framework. The aim is to address the hybridisms and poetic intersections that characterize the contemporary artistic scene, which has led artists, researchers, professors, critics, and theorists (historians, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, semioticians) to constantly reassess their approaches and methodological tools.

Structure

The program is structured around a concentration area entitled Theories and Interdisciplinary Poetic Processes, which encompasses three research lines: Art, Fashion: History and Culture; Film and Audiovisual; and Music and Sound Arts.

Academic Training

Graduates of the Postgraduate Program in Arts, Culture, and Languages will be qualified to work and produce interdisciplinary knowledge as educators, researchers, and artists. They will be equipped to positively impact society through a critical understanding of artistic and cultural processes and expressions, as well as their social implications.

These professionals will be prepared to contribute to the interdisciplinary development of scientific knowledge in the fields of arts and culture, articulating theoretical and methodological issues, and transferring innovative concepts and practices to specific areas of activity.
