This research project investigates the historical, social and political relations of the field of Design as a device that operates in the conformation of gender and sexuality discourses in Western society. Through Queer, (Trans) Feminist and Decolonial studies, as well as historical research, this project proposes a critical and propositional approach to the political implications of design as a mediation technology in the normalisation of bodies. In this sense, the project also aims to investigate and publicise aesthetic-political practices and graphic memories that form counter-normative networks of resistance to erasure in the face of dominant regimes of visibility in a defined spatiality and temporality such as Brazil - and Latin America from the second half of the 20th century onwards.

Based on an understanding of design as a device that operates alongside mass communications in shaping discourses and subjectivities - understanding its praxis as a mediation technology in the standardisation of bodies in networked societies - this project promotes investigations into the ways in which technoscience, especially in the period marked by the digital transformation of cultural practices, affects regimes of visibility and collective memory.

To investigate design processes in teaching-learning strategies, inside or outside formal education, exploring the use of design thinking in activities that integrate knowledge, procedures and affections; that involve the organisation of the needs and desires of the subjects involved; that consider the complex characteristics of the context in which they occur and that promote the use of appropriate technologies, with the aim of providing a qualitative difference for the community involved.

The project proposes the identification, implementation and dissemination of strategies for articulation and reciprocal fertilisation between spaces, objects and knowledge produced at ESDI and CAp/UERJ, with a view to teacher qualification and the promotion of quality basic education. In this sense, our objectives are: (1) to immerse ESDI professors in the context of CAp/UERJ and vice versa with a view to developing an action plan involving potential agents and spaces from both institutions to make the joint actions identified feasible; (2) to implement and record the actions listed; (3) to publicise the results achieved through the production of articles, events and other appropriate devices, both inside and outside UERJ, ensuring that the synergy between the two institutions is known, strengthened and enduring. We believe that these actions have the potential to promote the integration and engagement of designers, teachers, technicians and managers at UERJ in order to bring competences and curricular content closer to the daily lives and languages/interactions of contemporary students, favouring more exciting learning for these subjects. We believe that in this way we will contribute to building a collaborative base of good practice between ESDI and CAp/UERJ and by actively disseminating it, both inside and outside UERJ, we will foster a fertile path of articulation between Design and Education.

Explore educational situations that involve teaching-learning devices and/or the development of practical activities, projects or prototypes that articulate knowledge from different dimensions or pedagogical resources that contribute to increasing the quality of interaction involving learners.

Investigate pedagogical practices, teaching-learning methodologies, curricular proposals and historical aspects of specialized training in Design. Study didactic artifacts, languages, technologies, discourses and learning spaces of this training; Analyze possible sociocultural and pedagogical interactions of specialized and non-specialized training (formal and non-formal) involved in this segment.

To investigate the exercise of design thinking and participatory design in teacher training (undergraduate, teaching, continuing education); To promote training that encourages the formation of teacher-designers of learning experiences; To record the exercise of teaching practices that make use of stimulating resources and activities, taking into account different cognitive and affective profiles.

o 8º Seminário Internacional Museografia e Arquitetura de Museus 2023 acontece em  Petrópolis nos dias 24 e 25 de outubro de 2023

Com o intuito de estudar interseccional e heterotopicamente as práticas desviantes do design, minha pesquisa de doutoramento em curso examina a simultaneidade dos outros fins aos quais designs são originalmente projetados até se deslocarem para sentidos obscenos de interação entre pessoas gays, bissexuais, trans e travestis no espaço público. Se a forma não segue a função, ela então desvia? A partir das análises objetiva e (inter)subjetiva de distintos artefatos do design, da arquitetura e do urbanismo constantes na cidade e suportadas tanto pela literatura acadêmica quanto pela ficcional, que pretendo identificar o ponto D –de desvio, prenunciado pela sociologia e apurado pela filosofia (localiza)– entre o planejado e o adulterado para, então, questionar crítica e moralmente a norma e o establishment.

CONCURSO PÚBLICO - DEPARTAMENTO DE ARQUITETURA E URBANISMO - PROFESSOR ADJUNTO 40H

O seminário, que acontece nos dia 31 de agosto e 1 de setembro, busca promover o encontro de narrativas textuais e imagéticas que foram apagadas e silenciadas pelo projeto colonial moderno.
