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 promote research in arts, culture and artistic processes, in an interdisciplinary interface, in order to contemplate the hybridisms and poetic intersections that characterize the contemporary art scene, which has been impelling artists, researchers, teachers, critics and theorists (historians, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, semioticians) to constantly reevaluate their approaches and methodological tools.

Structure

It is structured from an area of concentration, called Interdisciplinary Poetic Theories and Processes, which brings together three research lines: Art, Fashion: History and Culture; Cinema and Audiovisual; and Arts and Music Poetics.

Students from the Postgraduate 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 intervene positively in society through their critical understanding of artistic and cultural processes and manifestations and of its repercussions on 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 action.
