The Graduate Program in Social Communication (Graduate ProgramCOM) at PUCRS is developing in line with social transformations and contemporary challenges, proposing reflections that generate new perspectives. To maintain its relevance and sustainability, for three decades the program has kept up with the desires, subjectivities and demands of each moment. With its master's and doctoral programs, the Graduate Program has a score of 6 in the evaluation by Capes – Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel. The classification demonstrates excellence at an international level, positioning the Program among the six best postgraduate programs in communication in Brazil.
With a concentration area in Communication Practices and Cultures, the Program has three lines of research. The first line, Imagination, creative industry and emerging technologies, brings together research on material, symbolic and subjective aspects of communication, investigating digital media, culture and technological sociabilities, as well as cultural appropriations and new forms of social interaction. The second line, Communication processes, body politics and intersectionality, focuses on communication processes in relation to contemporary cultural practices, considering markers of race, gender, sexuality, age group, class and territorialities. The third line, Practices in the media, Organizations and Power, investigates the relationships that are (de)constructed through narratives in organizational environments and their interrelations with the surroundings, guided by imagination, history and power relations.
To ensure that all these research possibilities can be transformed into reflections and studies, Graduate Program has more than 10 Research Groups that work from an interdisciplinary perspective. After all, if communication is at the core of human relationships, there are ample opportunities for study, allowing researchers to uncover paths that can have an impact on society. Another important resource for accessing historical data on communication in Brazil is the Communication Science Research Center (Nupec), a Famecos collection that organizes and preserves the dissemination of various collections belonging to journalists and communicators from RS. Academic exchanges and research results are shared in different ways, including the production of books and the maintenance of scientific journals.
Graduate ProgramCom has published several books, in which researchers and students have the opportunity to contribute by publishing the results of their research. The program is also recognized for the publication of the journal Revista Famecos, a reference in the field (Qualis A2), in addition to its participation in scientific events, both national and international.
Through internationalization initiatives, the Program has a network of partnerships in different regions of the world, providing exchanges and strengthening research and researchers. Cooperation agreements provide international experience to students and researchers. In addition to the dual degree, the institution welcomes students and professors from different countries, who become part of the program's day-to-day activities and promote a cultural exchange that transcends the areas of research.
1) contribute to the development of research and the production of scientific knowledge in the field of Communication;
2) train qualified researchers in the production of scientific research, promoting reflection on the practices and culture of Communication, in addition to training those interested in building a career in teaching;
3) build a reflective environment for the improvement of researchers, professionals in the field and teachers through the promotion of scientific events and opportunities for exchanges at national and international levels;
4) establish and consolidate qualified academic dialogue with institutions in Brazil and abroad through student and teacher exchanges;
5) encourage, within the parameters of Capes and the Ministry of Education, the development and internationalization of science and knowledge production in the area of Communication.
The PUCRS Graduate Program in Communication, recognized by Capes as one of the best in the country and with a 30-year history, is guided by a perspective of reflection and research on the practices and culture of communication. Based on imaginaries, technologies, audiovisual, powers and organizations, the program seeks to prepare researchers to work in a transdisciplinary manner in the field of communication.
With 30 years of experience, Graduate ProgramCom has been offering master's degree programs since 1994 and doctorate programs since 1999. The program focuses on reflection and research on communication practices and culture, covering imaginaries, technologies, audiovisual, powers and organizations, preparing researchers for a transdisciplinary approach. Since its creation, it has provided diverse experiences to students. In 1995, it launched the journal Revista Famecos, with the aim of expanding scientific knowledge in communication.
The following year, the program began promoting the International Communication Seminar (Seicom). Sociologists such as Edgar Morin, who at 103 years old shares reflections from a century-old life, have already contributed their contributions at in-person events. Other names, such as Michel Maffesoli, Dominique Wolton and Gilles Lipovetsky, continue to participate and contribute to the debates. Famecos, through Graduate ProgramCom, has also hosted important events, such as the Congress of the Brazilian Society of Interdisciplinary Studies of Communication (Intercom), the Brazilian Society of Cinema and Audiovisual Studies (Socine), the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR), the National Association of Graduate Programs in Communication (Compós), the Brazilian Association of Researchers in Organizational Communication and Public Relations (Abrapcorp) and the Brazilian Forum for Cinema and Audiovisual Education (Forcine). Graduate ProgramCom promotes the Research Exhibition annually, in collaboration with researchers from other areas, such as the PUCRS School of Humanities. Over the course of these 30 years of listening, reflection and debate, the program has strengthened its research in a transversal manner. This effort was recognized by Capes in the 2017-2020 four-year period, whose result, released in September 2022, gave the program a score of 6, consolidating it among the six best in the country.

OUTLINE: The subject's theme is the conflict between images in the media, considering films as a privileged document for constructing the narrative about the different forms of activism in contemporary times. The aesthetic analysis of the images will be articulated with the perception of the historicity surrounding the reminiscences, the biographical and the emotions, proposing a reflection on social activism and current wars. The conflict will be the guiding notion as a force of thought and construction of narratives in contemporary times that permeate the idea of adversary and falsehood. The classes will be expository and dialogued through discussions of articles and images, and will also feature the participation of guest speakers. |

| 1938E-02 | 30 | The speed and widespread access to information today, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, have increased the need for adequate communication between professors and researchers and the general public through various platforms. In addition to the skills intrinsically necessary for academic work, skills that prepare professionals for active participation in the media must be properly trained, avoiding the isolation of knowledge producers and leaving the general population receiving only information from sources of dubious technical-scientific nature. The objective of the discipline is to prepare postgraduate students to prepare lectures, interviews in various formats and manage social networks. |

| COD | Workload | Overview |
| 1976G-03 | 45 | The discipline is dedicated to the study of communication processes present in the dynamics of culture, from the following approaches: popular manifestations and their practices, such as religion, football, music, arts, etc.; activism and intermediary communication agents; media appropriations of cultural phenomena such as Carnival, celebration of historical dates, festivities in general, religious events (for example, the Feast of Our Lady of the Navigators); symbolic exchanges and exchanges in local, regional and global traditional societies (urban and rural); study of activist groups such as LGBTQIA+, the fight to end violence against women, and anti-racism movements. It also contemplates theoretical and methodological aspects resulting from scientific research, as well as empirical studies focused on the interrelations between communication and culture. The objective is to study the interface that unites communication and culture from the theoretical-methodological perspective of folkcommunication, folkmarketing and folkmedia; media appropriations by popular groups; understand the different communication actors in their places of speech, identifying processes of cultural resistance. Keywords: communication; folk communication; media; interculturality; communication processes |

| 1976F-01 | 15 | The visibility of scientific research is increasingly closer to the relevance of the investigations themselves. There are two axes in this process: the academic one, directly linked to official assessments, and the communication one, which brings society closer to the knowledge developed. With the expansion of channels and the intense sharing of data, the protagonism of Science also depends on strategies for understanding its importance in everyday life, in all areas. The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic and the contemporary information disorder have further highlighted the importance of researchers acting as communicators of their activities, whether through contact with the press or the use of digital social networks. In this seminar, the objective is to discuss valid strategies for scientific dissemination, understanding how these contexts shape the dissemination of knowledge. |

| COD | Workload | Overview |
| 19753-03 | 45 | Since the 1970s, postcolonial researchers have criticized the origins of modernity and the production of knowledge centered on worldviews of European societies. Although the actions of restitution of histories and knowledge of indigenous people, black people, and women silenced by colonizers in the name of modernity are known by postcolonial and decolonial critiques, the decolonization of thought is one of the foundations of black thought, such as Frantz Fanon; Abdias do Nascimento; Ngugi Wa Thiong o, Lélia González, among others. For contextualization purposes, a group of Latin American researchers focused on studies of modernity/coloniality, based on the “decolonial turn” in ways of understanding the world, as pointed out by Nelson Maldonato Torres. The decolonial project states that one of the actions of the colonization of the Americas and the Caribbean was the creation of the binaries human and nonhuman as the basis of modern racial discourse. Mignolo (2011) describes this colonial difference as “the dark side of Western modernity,” which consolidated the establishment of a geopolitics of knowledge and the split between modernity and coloniality. In this way, coloniality established – and still establishes – Eurocentrism as a dominant epistemological line in academic disciplines, especially in the field of Communication, which still requires a decolonization of its theoretical lines to expand the current world-system. The proposal of this discipline consists of presenting counter-hegemonic theoretical contributions as an epistemological alternative for thinking about the field of communication and the perspectives already consolidated in its classifications of knowledge. This consists of an epistemological effort, a political positioning, and a space for exchanging ideas and research experiences, while at the same time seeking new ways of conceiving the world, knowledge, the mind, and gender. |

| COD | Workload | Overview |
| 1978C-01 | 15 | The role of the media in contemporary society through a diachronic perspective that questions the tendency of communication studies to focus on the “new” without considering the antecedents that can contribute to illuminating the present. In concrete terms, the subject proposes to look at the media from a perspective that is uncommon in Communication Sciences courses, which, as a rule, present subjects focused on the role played by the media in disseminating information that contributes to the construction of an informed public opinion, while relegating, to the background, the study of how the media are used to disseminate propaganda. The curricular unit will allow students to understand the centrality assumed by this phenomenon in public communication, produced by political and economic agents that aim to induce behavior and affect individuals' perception of reality. The subject title is composed of a trinomial because it is considered that, although disinformation can be considered as part of propaganda (Jowett and O'Donnell, 2015; Marlin, 2002; O'Shaughnessy, 2020), a view that we will adopt in the design of this curricular unit, this concept deserves a broad discussion due to the visibility it has been acquiring in the contemporary communication scenario, namely in the discussion on the spread of false information and its impact on journalism. It will be demonstrated that, rather than being a new phenomenon, as it is often presented, disinformation is a classic propaganda strategy that uses different means to sow division and doubt. |

| Political institutions and democracy | The aim of this line of research is to investigate the main political institutions from theoretical and empirical perspectives. The national, subnational and international representative institutions of the State (executive and legislative branches), the links between State and Society (political parties, elections, civil society), the Judiciary Branches (at national and local levels) and Brazil's foreign policy will constitute central objects of investigation. Political behavior will also be investigated both within the scope of political institutions (political elites) and of the population in general, considering both traditional forms of participation, such as elections, and alternative forms, such as mechanisms of direct and/or deliberative democracy. |
| Citizenship, inequalities and social policies | The study of the dynamics of modern societies from the perspective of the development of citizenship and public policies, with a focus on their legal framework, implementation and implications. The study of social inequality in its various manifestations and dimensions, as well as the patterns of stratification in Brazilian society, analyzes conflicts, the formation of new social divisions and innovations in the practices of discipline and social control. It examines public security policies and the role of the state in combating violent crime and guaranteeing human rights.

Investigates the generational dimension and its relations with public policies and the actions of institutions and social actors in different positions. Researches intersections between social markers of difference (age/generations, sex/gender, class/social origin, race/ethnicity, nationality) in the configuration of social and cultural processes. Develops research through methodologies such as biographical analysis, ethnography and studies of everyday life. |
| Political sociology of international relations | The study of phenomena that transcend national borders employs methodological tools from the social sciences. It brings together theories of International Relations and approaches mobilized in Sociology, Political Science and Anthropology. The following are some of the topics of interest in this line of research: (a) political activism and transnational social movements, international non-governmental organizations and their interactions with States from a multilevel perspective; (b) international migration in its political, cultural and social aspects; (c) political institutions and processes, including in relation to democracy, the defense of human rights, integration and the production of public policies. In broader terms, it welcomes all academic research topics that can benefit from the dialogue proposed in the political sociology of International Relations. |

| 92394-03 | 45 | This seminar addresses the relationship between communication and emotion, especially its effect on the management of collective mood through entertainment, political incitement and rumination, and the manipulation of human feelings through showbiz, sports, and religion, among other similar events. It is assumed that all communication always involves the handling of feelings and the awakening of some emotion. It is, therefore, an interdisciplinary theme that manifests itself in various fields, including international relations, organizational communication, advertising, propaganda, journalism, and functional neuroimaging. It presents a broad and solid literature capable of also clarifying the type of affective interaction that is currently developing on the web. |

| 19754-01 | 15 | In a media landscape strongly marked by “narratives of the self” (in their multiple “signatures”), there is an apparent “detour” in recent documentary production: films and videos that have focused on narratives that articulate collective protagonisms fabricated by dialogues that, in a certain way, revive utopian projects, resistances and expectations of social transformation. Discussing the construction of these protagonisms, the language strategies and narrative structures, as well as the imaginaries that sustain these productions, is the objective of this course. |

| 197DQ-01 | 15 | With the advent of the metropolis and its forms of communication in 18th century Europe, soon after the massification of society and culture, a progressive process of aestheticization of existence began, which has gradually transformed the social body and all its derivations – read: according to the respective eras and the points of view of the people, the “people”, the “mass”, the public or the “vulgar” – into the protagonist of the scene. Starting with the invention of Kitsch and mass media, radicalized by the experience of the artistic avant-garde of the 20th century, savored by countercultural performances, accelerated and sweetened by television, and introduced by pop culture, this seems to be happening today beyond and beyond art: between the plots of digital life, urban scenes with high emotional density and electronic sociality, through Instagram stories, Tik Tok trends, Twitch streams and memes or wherever everyday life becomes the beating heart of our culture – fetish and instrument of production, art and commodity, individual of history and object of consumption. Thus, at the same time that we witness the emancipation of the public, dreamed of, in various nuances, by Friedrich W. Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin and Marshall McLuhan, we also witness its definitive and voluntary alienation. This seminar seeks to explore its forms and understand its meanings through the sociology of the imaginary and everyday life, aesthetics, philosophy, anthropology, sciences and the history of communication. After art, to become a work of the public. What work of art is this? Who are its objects and subjects? What aesthetics does it bring with it? The hypothesis developed in this framework is that the imaginary and forms of beauty are completely altered by the social history in which the public interacts with art and, more generally, with the system of objects. What happened to beauty? |

| 19751-01 | 15 | The media and politics today live within what Daniel Innerarity calls “immediate gratification.” It is in this “contemporary acceleration”, in the words of Pierre Lévy, who around two decades ago already warned us about the risks of a “derealization of the world”, that we have reached the era of personalization of information and algorithms. How can we, therefore, “look more at the world and less at the mirror”, as Umberto Eco urged us, in our time dominated by social networks, which grant any citizen an unprecedented power of large-scale communication? The “society of the spectacle” anticipated by Debord, now elevated to the status of an ideology of a present that continues to be full of forgetfulness, although desirably spectacular, reveals to us that its main bloodstream is pathos. The absence or secondary role of logos in communication and information processes in contemporary (Western) societies therefore highlights the importance of the debate around journalism and politics, that is to say, democracy. The discussion is old. If a century ago Dewey and Lippman were already exchanging arguments about the press's capacity for manipulation, taking as a backdrop the foundations of democracy and the political consciousness of citizens, today the debate must involve each one of us, as citizens of the current society of “mass self-communication” (Castells). Faced with a serious internal crisis — economic, technological and credibility — and loss of public authority, journalism competes for media space with other actors, who do not hesitate to point to it as an adversary to be defeated. In this Manichean vision of the world, the phenomena of “alternative facts” and “post-truth” flourish. This “way of doing things with words”, which Innerarity calls political practice, is today done under the sign of disintermediation. The political personalism of populist leaders corresponds to (a) media increasingly hostage to digital communicative logic, where sharing and audience engagement constitute a new news value. The conditions are thus met for the affirmation of a political-media populism, which strategically and wisely takes advantage of the weaknesses of (reference) journalism and the evident democratic anorexia. Paradoxically, increased communication is far from producing better information and contributing to a climate of greater transparency: “hyperinformation and hypercommunication do not inject light into the darkness” (Han). In a context where it is impossible to separate journalism from politics and the roles that the two camps must play, the action of other relevant social actors capable of influencing the media agenda also stands out, such as professional sources, whether they represent companies or political interests (spin doctors). Communication, journalism and political practice are exercised within that obsession with the instantaneousness of information that Baudrillard speaks of, and whose media speed, taken to its ultimate consequences, would lead us, according to Elias Canetti's thinking, to the very escape and “liberation” of reality. |

| 1977X-01 | 15 | The Covid-19 pandemic, by revealing the weaknesses of the paradigms that characterize modern life, has radicalized and exacerbated a cultural process that has been in action since the XNUMXth century: the mediatization of our existence, a condition in which media landscapes precede and exceed our material lives. Our screens have thus become our true spaces and languages: places of resistance, recreation, and recreation, but also prisons. It is a show without entertainment with rituals capable of accelerating the anthropological mutation that is advancing in contemporary societies, putting their pivots in crisis: humanism, the rational and separate individual, production, reason, and the cult of progress. The objective of this seminar is to understand the main matrices, drifts, and emergences of these scenarios in light of the sociology of imaginary, media, and visual studies. Cinema, photography, music videos, television series, and social networks—from Instagram to OnlyFans, from Facebook to TikTok and Snapchat—are devices where the complex iconography of the self of the new millennium, whose roots are ancient, is rejected. Starting from the tropes of invisibility, anomie and restlessness in different audiovisual languages, we can describe and interpret fundamental figures of contemporary culture such as Afrofuturism, the aesthetics of malaise, dystopia and pornoculture, in a dynamic of back and forth between blackness and darkness, highlighting the tragic joy that accompanies and celebrates the decline of the West and the lost futures of modernity. At stake, in many aspects, is an imaginary and practices that, by completing our culture, also generate a “new flesh” of which we are at the same time the artists, the works, the objects, the information and the spectacle. |

| COD | Workload | Overview |
| 19752-01 | 15 | The seminar aims to introduce concepts and theories of social phenomenology and socio-anthropology of the imaginary focused on communication, focusing on some central issues that communication sciences and human sciences have in common, on which they develop their respective legitimacy and validity. If the issue of individual and collective actions becomes central to the sociological unveiling of the social bond, communication in turn can be understood as the driving force behind these actions. Sociology, like anthropology, by working on the federative theme of alterities, produces discourses on the communicational inclinations of societies and their implications in the modern world. Thus, violence and its treatment by the media, that is, the management of violence disseminated as a relational object (police news, pornography, terrorism, etc.), vector of communicational messages and source of knowledge, could be considered as a characteristic example of an extreme communicational action that uses fears and diverse fascinations to implement itself in the social fabric. We will also reflect on the status of the image and the reception of the imaginary paradigm within contemporary cultures: what are the “servility” of the image, how did the symbolic imaginary go from being an unproductive qualifier to a profitable perspective? In the same vein, we will investigate the phenomenological framework whose favorite themes (communication of consciousness, reality, truth, essence, appearance, etc.) can help us better understand the foundations of “communication” as a civilizational obsession. The use of these concepts applied to the proposed perspective will then enable us to analyze some aspects of a paradoxical but fruitful confrontation between the various symptoms of modern individualism (living by and for oneself) and new relational forms whose technological matrix becomes increasingly evident. Thus, the Everyday and the Common become new operational directions in social networks and digital media, through which each person offers his or her own existence for collective consumption. Therefore, the investment in this communication architecture, perpetuated by the needs of both commercial profit and the existential exchange of information and experiences, can lead us to think of a possible relational format already indicated in the mid-20th century by Georges Bataille when he speculated about the impossibility of any true communication within the spectrum of the emotional community. |

| 1978X-03 | 45 | Introduction to Theories of Justice and Social and Political Philosophy, exploring and deepening key issues and concepts of Critical Theory. Critical Theory emerged in the last century, shortly after the creation of the Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung) in 1923, around thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse and others who developed an interdisciplinary research of modern society and contemporary culture, becoming known as the “Frankfurt School”. Other authors, such as Jürgen Habermas, Seyla Benhabib, Nancy Fraser, Axel Honneth, Judith Butler, Rainer Forst, Amy Allen, Martha Nussbaum and Wendy Brown, are part of this philosophical current to be addressed in this seminar, as well as its better-known interlocutors such as Hannah Arendt, Michel Foucault, John Rawls and contemporary feminists. Based on the reading of selected texts by Michel Foucault, this seminar introduces, explores and deepens current concepts, problems and discussions in Critical Theory and identity politics, especially with regard to the Hermeneutics of the Subject, theories of sexuality and a critical theory of modern society in Foucault's late writings and their critical reception in authors of feminism and queer theories, especially Judith Butler. |

| Communication processes, body politics and intersectionality | The study investigates communication processes in their relationship with contemporary cultural practices, considering markers of “race”, gender, sexuality, age group, class, territorialities and their intersections. It analyzes themes and conceptual assumptions of Communication linked to body politics and different forms of oppression, prejudice, racism and symbolic and material resistance, complicating approaches to media regimes and social interactions. It includes studies on cultural, artistic and media experiences, aesthetics, productions, narratives, performances, representation and consumption, as well as the processes of interaction, circulation, immersion and affectation by different forms of communication – from oral to digital – and the materiality of the media.

Internationalization permeates all university activities, promoting a multilingual, multicultural, global and inclusive environment. The commitment to expanding and consolidating internationalization in PUCRS's Graduate Programs is aligned with the pursuit of excellence in the quality of its courses. The University is part of global collaborative research agendas, seeking effective solutions to major social challenges, sharing knowledge and technologies in order to promote global, inclusive and multidisciplinary exchange.
The Stricto Sensu Internationalization Coordination (CISS) is a direct support structure for the coordination, secretariats, faculty and students of the Graduate Programs, for the promotion, support and curation of internationalization actions, adapted to the profile, vocations and specificities of each of the Programs. For example, it coordinates the actions of the Capes PrInt Project at PUCRS, which aims to develop and integrate the international dimension within the scope of Stricto Sensu Postgraduate teaching and Research at the University, aiming at academic excellence and transformative solutions for global issues of society.
Ongoing noticesThe Institutional Internationalization Project (PUCRS-PrInt) in application to Call for Proposals 41/2017 – Capes/PrInt, aims to develop and incorporate international perspectives into the University's Graduate Programs, aiming at academic excellence and effective actions for global problems of society. Student and faculty mobility benefits to Brazil and abroad are available in different modalities of calls for proposals.
Discover financing optionsStudents enrolled as regular students in a PhD program at PUCRS may carry out training and research at another institution, provided that they have already been regularly enrolled in the PhD program for at least 2 (two) semesters. The student must have the approval of the Coordinating Committee of the Graduate Program to which they are enrolled at PUCRS and the acceptance of the advisor at the host institution.
The duration of the Sandwich Doctorate is a maximum of 24 (twenty-four) months, this period being counted towards the student's program time at PUCRS.
On July 04, 2018, CAPES established a Commission with the mission of implementing a self-assessment system within the scope of graduate programs, which would also be a relevant component for the external assessment carried out by CAPES (CAPES Ordinance No. 148/2018).
Based on the design of this system, it is up to each graduate program to propose a self-assessment design, in line with the Strategic Tactical Planning proposed by the Graduate Program, “which is able to capture aspects pertinent to its mission and objectives, including those related to its insertion in the social/international context and its specific scientific choices” (GT Assessment Report, CAPES, 2019).
The Self-Assessment process of the Graduate Programs at PUCRS was initiated through the institutional stage, with guidance from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies so that the Programs could organize and implement the practice in their assessment dynamics. The guidelines imply: reporting on the activities that comprised the Program's self-assessment process, supported by institutional documents (PEPG 2021-2025 and Institutional Strategic Planning); support in the Strategic and Tactical Planning of the Graduate Program for its deliverables; reporting on the closing activity of the cycle self-assessment, preferably with the participation of an external guest; preparation of a report to be included in the Final Report of the four-year period.
The Graduate ProgramCOM has three self-assessment instruments: 1) annual assessment of the program by students 2) Annual Accreditation/Re-accreditation/De-accreditation process, which assesses each teacher according to their academic activity 3) Visit by an external examiner.
Being more than a university means promoting development and social impact for the community. This is a cause that has always been with us: we exist to transform realities, constantly seeking creative answers to everything that our time and tomorrow need.
We have a series of initiatives that mark our journey of social impact generated by different structures and actions of PUCRS. Learn more about our work at https://portal.pucrs.br/impacto/
Graduates linked to the Program produce work resulting from their participation in research and study groups. The topics addressed reflect transformations in communication, power relations in a scenario of organizational and algorithmic intersectionality, new processes that update historical characteristics of the area, and the impacts on social relations, especially through emerging technologies. These productions are characterized by transdisciplinarity, a fundamental characteristic of the area and of Graduate ProgramCOM.
Intellectual production is often carried out in a network, in co-authorship between faculty and students, in addition to involving researchers from other Graduate Programs in Communication and other areas. The reflections generated are the result of research developed by different networks, with the participation of students and graduates of the Program. This collaboration also extends internationally, through partnerships established by CAPES/PrInt and agreements with foreign universities and associations.
With regard to technical and artistic production, students and alumni act as reviewers for scientific journals and evaluators of works at events, in addition to contributing to the publishing of Famecos Magazine and associations in the area, such as E-Compós. They present works at major events, such as Intercom, Compós, Abrapcorp, SBPJor, Socine, ALCAR, ALAIC and IAMCR, and are involved in curating and cataloging national and international film festivals, as well as editing and directing films.
