[ecrea] Applicants for the PhD in Cultural Studies - Opening Notices
Wed Jul 18 21:47:19 GMT 2012
Applicants for the first Doctorate Programme in Cultural Studies in
Portugal - accredited by A3ES and in accordance with the Bologna
Agreement - for the academic year 2012-13 can now apply online at
http://www.ua.pt/saa, until the 27st of August.
As a result of the partnership established between the Universities of
Minho and of Aveiro, specifically concerning the Institute of Social
Sciences and the Department of Language and Culture respectively, the
Programme will be operated from both of the aforementioned universities,
on a rotational basis (the 2012-2013 programme will conducted in the
University of Aveiro).
This third cycle degree of Cultural Studies addresses professional
training in areas of cultural creativity, promotion, entertainment,
mediation and cultural dissemination, as well as committing to published
libraries, editing, centres of information production and cultural
events, cultural association, and those responsibility for culture in
embassies, institutions, foundations and cultural centres, amongst others.
The training of researchers in this area aims to qualify specialists
capable of working as part of multi-disciplinary teams in the resolution
of issues such as sustainable development, intercultural communications,
business ethics, film studies, gender studies, media, internet,
post-colonialism, preservation, cultural tourism, cultural marketing,
cultural policies, bio-power, bio-politics, the genetization of the
human being, imaginary anthropotechnology etc.
The research in this area needs to address the necessity of trained
researchers, capable of examining environments which are intrinsically
linked with diverse scientific areas such as Communications, History,
Geography, Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology, Literature and Heritage,
amongst others.
The tuition of the doctorate students in the field of Cultural Studies -
apart from the areas with which it is associated, such as Literature,
Philosophy, History, Communications, Sociology, Geography and
Anthropology - will develop the skills required to resolve concrete
issues which engage populations and public authorities (issues such as
social discrimination, xenophobia, extreme nationalism, social tensions
and weak civic participation) and economic powers (the creation of
museums, festivals, events, tourist attractions and the cultural
industries in general), and the various social groups who wish to see
themselves recognised in representation of the world, requiring the
legitimisation of new socio-cultural practices.
This Programme also seeks to stimulate the capacity to produce
autonomous research in multidisciplinary contexts - which can be
international, national or local - and to develop reading and writing
skills in scientific contexts, in addition to reinforcing and deepening
the critical aspects of the taught content.
The Doctorate Programme in Cultural Studies welcomes students who wish
to develop their research skills in both the English and Portuguese
languages.
