Course carried out under the «KNOWLEDGEandARTS» as Research
This is an initiative promoted by NECTS (Science, Technology and Society Research Group), aiming at the organization of a series of events focused on aesthetic-expressive activities/demonstrations (for the time being, with a scenic/performative/visual emphasis), among other knowledge bases.
This initiative is integrated within the diversity of debates incited by CES around the problematic of cognitive citizenship and cross-disciplinary/interfacial concepts of knowledge production and legitimation. Its main goal is to improve and diversify those debates, based on an integrated and involved experience, in order to facilitate the adequacy of formulation of results from certain Social and Human Sciences’ studies and their expression/communication, namely promoting the possible horizontality between experience, social change and corresponding analysis.
We also aim at fostering the base conditions for the creation of mediation, articulation and cooperation circles between fields of Knowledge, Culture and corresponding multiple modes of communication, mobilizing the different Sciences, Knowledge Bases (traditional/modern and computerized/manual), Arts and Societies as an educational project, for a creative citizenship, social change and social fairness-beauty.
On July 12th and 13th, the program of «KNOWLEDGEandARTS» as Research included an International Seminar on “Cognitive Citizenship: Arts and Knowledge as Research in Contemporary Knowledge Societies”. This initiative is continued with the present Advanced Training Course.
