Master’s Program Has Two Research Lines Focused on Literature
This graduate program offers two research lines that address literature in different contexts. Let’s explain further:
Literature and Subjectivity
This research line is ideal for those who wish to explore literature as a tool for analyzing and interpreting subjectivities. Research areas include themes such as:
- Literature and History,
- Literature and Psychoanalysis,
- Literature and Sociology,
- Literature and Other Arts and Media.
Additionally, the focus also involves narrativity and new narrative combinations, encompassing both poetry and dramatic forms and their interpretations in the contemporary scenario.
Literature, Memory, and Culture
The second research line proposes to investigate literature as a historical phenomenon, exploring its implications in dialogues about identity, culture, and memory. Here, projects may discuss:
- Literature and Social Formation,
- Literature and Cultural Memory,
- Children’s Literature and Orality,
- The Intersection between Historical and Literary Texts.
This line is aimed at those who want to understand how literature engages with society over time, creating new interpretations about our cultural heritage and our identity.
Classes Start in March 2025
If you are interested in this opportunity, get ready: classes are scheduled to start in March 2025, with a full-time course load.
