Presentation

The Post- Graduations Program in Arts, Culture and Languages, recommended by the Capes Arts/Music area and rated 4, started its activities in March 2013 with the Master’s course. On April 1, 2019, the Doctoral course began operating.

Goals

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

Its main objectives are to produce and foster research in arts, culture and artistic processes, in an interdisciplinary interface, in order to contemplate the hybridisms and poetic crossovers that characterize the contemporary artistic scene, which has been driving artists, researchers, teachers, critics and theorists (historians, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, semioticians) to constantly re-evaluate their methodological approaches and tools.

Structure

It is based on an area of concentration, called Interdisciplinary Theories and Poetic Processes, which brings together three lines of research: Art, Fashion: History and Culture; Cinema and Audiovisual; and Interart Studies and Music.

Formation

The former students of the Post- graduating Course in Arts, Culture and Languages will be able to work and produce interdisciplinary knowledge as a teacher, researcher and artist through the ability to positively intervene in society through their critical understanding of the processes and artistic and cultural manifestations and its repercussions in the social environment.

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