History of Art and Architecture in Brazil
Created in 1980 by an initiative of the Arts Department, the specialization course in History of Art and Architecture in Brazil became the responsibility of the History department in 1984. Since its creation this course is attended by a very diversified audience made up of artists, architects, arts education teachers, designers, photographers, as well as a number of professionals whose activities require a degree of knowledge about the history art and architecture, such as historians, social scientists, museologists, journalists, sociologists, scenographers, stylists, tour guides, and so forth.
This aim of the course is not merely to complement topics introduced at undergraduate level, but to provide a structured approach to the history of art and architecture which takes periodization into account without neglecting episodes of discontinuity and rupture. Hence its insistence on the interrelationship between a specific comprehension of the aesthetic phenomenon and its insertion in the cultural, historical and aesthetic field.
In this context, art and architecture in Brazil become especially relevant both to the course’s curricular structure and its final assignment.

Os Conflitos do Século XXI em Perspectiva
O Curso de Especialização “Os Conflitos do Século XXI em Perspectiva” tem por objetivo a análise em perspectiva dos recentes conflitos que permeiam o cenário político internacional. Atentando para aspectos políticos e socioculturais, a reflexão se estruturará no diálogo entre conceitos e construções de sentido que estão na base de muitas tensões locais e regionais com as questões geopolíticas inerentes a um mundo pós-guerra fria e as possibilidades de estruturação de uma ordem internacional multipolar.
Em diálogo com as referências teóricas da História da Cultura, o curso propõe uma reflexão sobre as continuidades, descontinuidades e ressignificações de ideias e conceitos como imperialismo, nacionalismo, raça, fundamentalismo, violência e guerra, em busca da compreensão de um processo de construção de identidades coletivas e exclusão do outro que estão no centro de muitas das tensões e conflitos contemporâneos.
