Work Groups



Work Group 1: Digital Culture, Virtual Communities and Digital Games



This group aims to discuss the implications of the digitalization of 
different cultural manifestations, especially those around networking 
communities via computers, as well as productions in the format of 
digital games and its effects in contemporary culture.



Work Group 2: Theory, Methodology and Research Technologies



This group aims to discuss theories, methodologies and techniques in 
cultural research as a form of communication, understanding that this 
reflection becomes necessary as we explore more deeply the process of 
production of scientific knowledge.



Work Group 3: Advertising, Corporate Image, and Consumer Culture



The objective of this group is to think the dimension of the corporate 
images, of brands, products and services, using as a starting point the 
mediated presence of this images in the consumer sphere and its 
implications in the constitution of senses in different cultures.



Work Group 4: Visual and Sound Culture



This WG is articulated with the theoretical production of Visual 
Anthropology, an interdisciplinary field that is always attentive to 
forms and visual and audiovisual manifestations that express cultural 
meanings. The WG aims to explore strategies of questioning the 
theoretical advances and the methodological development in research 
projects that involve the production of data in the fieldwork as well as 
questioning the afterwards treatment of the data in the creation of 
narratives about social life and culture. Another objective of this WG 
is to reflect about the place sound in contemporary society: music, 
soundscapes, and musical ambiences of different territories.



Work Group 5: Cinema and society



This WG understands cinema as the language matrix of movement that 
nowadays have been found expanding in the different audiovisual media as 
a mass media but also understood as art. With the power and capacity to 
move, teach, entertain and promote the public’s reflection, cinema has 
the capacity to evolve itself in two inseparable directions: the 
production and the recreation. Fiction, documentary, institutional, 
series, etc., this WG is open to research, projects and films that may 
reveal the society in the film and the film in the society.



Work Group 6: Shared production of knowledge



The group proposes to explore the relation between, from one side, new 
dialogical forms of production of knowledge in the academic sphere and, 
from the other side, a closer proximity with communities and 
oral-traditional knowledge.



Organized by: Arlete dos Santos Petry, Eneus Trindade, Luís Carlos Petry 
and Nicolás Llano Linares.
