Curricular Options

The doctoral program concentrates on “Modern Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences: Urban Body, Historical Legacy, Legitimacy and Rights”. The area unfolds in studies on “the subjects and the city”, which is key to understanding and analyzing the dilemmas of contemporary living, moving between the legal political construct, in the field of Social Rights, and outlaw practices, forms centered on the reproduction of inequalities and patrimonialism.

The research in this line encompasses urban dynamics with a view to the relationship between space and time, taking into account the process of production, acceptance and cultural refusals. Therefore, it is investigated: A) The analysis of conflicting aspects within the diversity installed in the cultural processes existing in human conglomerates, traditional legacies and the relationship with modernity; B) How these manifestations, constituted from population displacements, appear in the cities, from an interdisciplinary perspective; C) The temporalities of the subjects and the flows that compose it; D) How to build methodological supports and tools for research on social diversity.
