Capes PrInt The Graduate Program in Communication
Project Communication Technologies, City, and Media Culture
Objectives
Promote the construction, implementation, and consolidation of strategic internationalization plans in prioritized fields of knowledge; foster the formation of international research networks to improve the quality of academic production linked to graduate studies; expand actions to support internationalization in graduate school; promote the mobility of students and faculty, especially for doctoral and postdoctoral students and the UERJ faculty abroad and from abroad to Brazil, linked to stricto sensu graduate programs with international cooperation; encourage the transformation of participating institutions into an international environment; and integrate other CAPES promotion actions into this internationalization effort.
In this context, the project wishes to provide an international space for dialogue, exchange, and reflection on the communication phenomenon at the intersection of three guiding dimensions, understood as fundamental in the constitution of our Lines of Research.
Namely:
a) the construction and dissemination of media messages.
b) the cultural and material repercussions of communication and information technologies.
c) the urban space as an important locus of communication and generator of imaginaries for the sedimentation of contemporary cultures.
We propose objects of interdisciplinary research which relate with studies on bodies, performances, cities, photography, music, cinema, games, creative industries, communicational cartography, technological materialities, uses of technologies, dissensual practices in the city, food cultures, political activism, ephemeral territorialities, and contemporary imaginaries.
