Advanced Social Science Methodologies
Syllabus: It presents the methodology specific to Social Sciences, Anthropology and Sociology, discusses the construction of the problem, the delimitation of the research object and presents the methodological instruments necessary for the production of knowledge. Discusses research methods and techniques in a broader context within Anthropology and Sociology. The forms, ways or modes of investigation based on archives, diverse written texts and images, are themed from the point of view of anthropological and sociological practice. Data production and organization, as well as the problems associated with text production are also studied. It highlights the discussion on fieldwork and ethnography, both discussed as a reflective framework to produce research techniques. It problematizes themes that often generate tension: the researcher's relationship with “the natives” (and the production of the “native” category), the production of information from the notes of the fieldwork, interviews and life stories, language analysis , ethics in anthropological research. Production of the dissertation / thesis project.

Anthropological Theory III
Syllabus:
Syllabus: This course proposes to review the sociological theory that served as the basis for interpretations about Latin America, and its criticism. Theoretical currents, methodologies, authors and works that fostered a critical reflection on social, economic and political actors and processes will also be visited in the trajectory of Latin American Sociology. Theories of modernization. Modernity. Eurocentrism, colonialism and new interpretative schemes on power, domination, the state and policies. Post-colonialism. Theories and criticisms of development and post-development. Debate in order to guide the reading on the decolonization of knowledge and the production of a sociology integrated with the historical processes of Latin America, and of epistemological reflection.
In this line of discussion, the discipline sought to draw the trajectory of the debate on development, dependence and emancipation, seeking to understand the genealogies, problems and theoretical and methodological challenges of Latin American social sciences in the 21st century.
The notion of development marks the emergence of sociology, from the classics, if we consider that the notion of progress was at the base of the formation of social thought potentiated in the West. Progress and development in the timeline, as linearity. From this base one can understand the intellectual projects, political programs and social utopias that shaped the second half of the 19th and 20th centuries. And the institutionalization of social sciences in the 20th and 21st century, with the notion of development as an epistemological basis. Deconstruction and existential logic of the western conception of sociology, and the westernization of Latin American sociology.

Readings on Society, Culture, Environment and Territories
Syllabus: The discipline addresses classic concepts and issues that have guided anthropological thinking and thematize the relationship between human populations and the biophysical environment; concepts of culture and nature, a Western cultural construction, are opposed and generate other oppositions: environment / society, human / non-human, wild / civilized, among others. The first attempts to deconstruct the oppositions to think about the relationship between humans and the environment fail to eliminate these central concepts; ontological pluralism and the pluriverse, as opposed to the universal built from the west; Western science versus traditional knowledge; the debate on the protection of nature and the issue of territory: conservation vs. preservation.

About the Power of Image
Syllabus:
Syllabus: The concept of class in sociology is fundamental for understanding the structuring of the social world, its contradictions, conflicts and permanences. As such it is extremely controversial and subject to various interpretations. It presupposes hierarchies of wealth, prestige and power, which imply economic, political, social and cultural inequalities present in all societies. The industrial revolution and the spatial and temporal changes in production, with the concentration of workers in the cities, made their conflicts more visible, as well as the formation of class cultures. Despite strongly reflecting an economic situation in the way individuals are inserted in the productive process, the formation of class identities goes beyond this process, including forms of cultural valuation, political struggles and intersectional issues such as gender and race. The discipline seeks to discuss this process from the classic and contemporary authors of sociology to analyze the Brazilian situation. In topical terms, it intends to approach the formation of social classes and their relevance in contemporary capitalism, based on classical currents and their developments, with concepts and theories that are complementary to or that challenge it as social stratification, elites, class hierarchies, styles of life, mobility, inequality, and class struggle.
