São Paulo and São Paulo have opened registrations for the special postgraduate course “Racisms and fundamentalisms in the era of economics: and the critique of images in digital technologies”. The start of online classes is scheduled for March 9th, and meetings will be held from 7pm to 11pm.
With a course load of 120 hours and offered in a remote format, the course aims to deepen the investigation into the supremacy of digital technologies using Fanon’s articulation of the body, gaze and decolonization of the being.
Registration, made until this Saturday (28), is open to listeners from areas such as social sciences, philosophy, communication, psychology, anthropology, engineering, among others. Students linked to must apply through the official University system. External participants can register by sending an email to schwartz@usp.br.
Linked to the Postgraduate Program Humanities, Rights and Other Legitimacies at USP, the course will be coordinated by the professor at the School of Communications and Arts at USP Gilson Schwartz, by the communications coordinator at the Museu das Favelas Priscilla Fenics, and by the artist Nelson Crisóstomo.
“Nelson has a deep relationship with peripheral stories in Rio de Janeiro. He is a visual artist who works on the relationship between art and technology, in addition to researching Fanon, forming this triad and expanding perspectives”, says Priscilla.
The training will be part of the exhibition “Radical Imagination: 100 years of”, on display at the Museu das Favelas until May, as one of the axes of the discipline. The objective is to transform the museum space into a critical laboratory, where the contents and exhibition devices become primary material for analysis.
“Building an exhibition involves enormous research, sometimes lasting years, and this movement of expanding the exhibition to academia, adding this methodological and epistemological centrality within a discipline, makes the process innovative”, says the coordinator.
For her, the course opens up an opportunity for civil society to reflect the essence of the exhibition when discussing futures based on the reality of black, indigenous and peripheral people.
“The course seeks a horizon of understanding radicalism. Our studies value diversity, including points of view, of different types of fundamentalism”, explains professor Gilson Schwartz.
According to him, it is fundamentalism that is inserted into political, ideological and even religious currents. “It is a stance that does not exclusively or necessarily involve the concept of race. You can be a religious fundamentalist or a fundamentalist in economic principles.” The discipline will therefore seek to understand the origin of these radical hatreds.
“As a postgraduate course, the perspective is to open horizons, make dialogues happen, understand different thinkers and the context in which they produced about fundamentalism and economics”, he says.
At the end of the program, students will produce a collaborative research glossary that will be published by the Museu das Favelas and the Quilombo Inteligente project.
