  • Objectives

    Objectives

    This UC aims to:
    1. Provide theoretical, practical, methodological and procedural tools, with the purpose of developing a dissertation project;
    2. Provide immersive moments of reading and analysis of works of different nature, as well as watching films (with access to the film club), with the purpose of creating cross-readings;
    3. Develop a map of ideas/concepts with the aim of broadening the spectrum of relationships between various areas of visual culture, for a better understanding of the symbolic value of photographic language;
    4. Work on the concepts of rhizome and metalanguage;
    5. Provide writing exercises that cover various categories and purposes: report, synopsis, descriptive memory, creative writing and theoretical essay.

    At the end of this UC, students will be able to better articulate the relationship between theory and practice, understanding both practices as an action that informs authorial practice in any field of artistic production.
