This line of research encompasses projects that, based on different thematic and temporal approaches, critically and interdisciplinarily question and analyze the various dimensions of the relationships between History, languages, identities, and subjectivities, taking into account the power dynamics that shape them and their multiple contours.
It brings together investigations concerning the intersections between History and the fields of language, understood as symbolic (re)elaborations of experiences, the organization and classification of the world, in its various forms and media – visualities, sounds, and corporealities.
To this end, it prioritizes a theoretical-methodological approach that highlights the issues involved in the production, reproduction, and circulation of meanings, as well as the (re)configurations of forms of perception amid contradictions, conflicts, and resistance to domination processes.
This research line also includes studies focused on the relationships between History and identities, particularly aspects related to cultural fractures, considering the production, appropriation, and (re)signification of meanings and the networks of interdependence established within social arrangements.
From this perspective, it encompasses research on cinema, music, theater, TV, digital games, literature, visual arts, media, and other sources from specific contexts, as well as studies on gender, self-writing, biographies, cultural practices and representations, and historical narratives that address the invention and management of memory, forgetting, and both tangible and intangible heritage.
