  • ObjectivosObjectives
    This curricular unit aims to provide MA students with tools in the specific methodologies of research in art. It provides an understanding of research in the current scenario, its definition, methodologies, and surrounding issues (nationally and internationally), and focuses on the specific case of research in art. It intends to provide students and researchers with theoretical and practical knowledge that will give them autonomy to pursue their projects and scientific investigations with rigor. For this, tools will be provided for understanding, researching, reading, and developing critical thinking, own and effective methods of study, writing tools and construction of arguments and documents, as well as understanding of their own artistic process, and the creation of means to translate, explore, and share this process with the scientific community in a critical and relevant way.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The teaching methodology of this curricular unit is based on a theoretical approach, through the exposure of contents in classes, with the aid of audiovisual materials, bibliography and access to support materials previously prepared by the teacher (presentations, guides, lists, references). These materials are delivered via Moodle and institutional e-mail and later discussed in class. Practical exercises oriented towards the investigation and needs of each student are also be carried out, including the simulation of some steps necessary to carry out the MA dissertation: identification of a question; formulation of a title, subtitle, and keywords; writing a comment (from an object to be selected); partial simulation of an article; dissertation project writing simulation. Time is also reserved for face-to-face and e-mail tutorial guidance.
