Research group, certified by CNPq, which investigates the historical, political, social and cultural relationships in the field of Design - understood as a device that operates, together with mass communications, in the shaping of discourses and subjectivities - understanding its praxis as a mediation technology in the normalization of bodies in network societies. Its emphasis is on Gender Studies, Queer Studies, for investigations into the ways in which technoscience, notably in the period marked by the digital transformation of cultural practices, focuses on dissident sex-gender corporeities and their tactics of aesthetic-political insubordination. Through intersections between design and its histories, public history, graphic memory and digital humanities, from a perspective of open knowledge and public science, we aim to create an interdisciplinary space for reflections on the structures through which contemporary culture has been reconfiguring itself in the 21st century.

The research group's actions bring together research, extension and teaching in undergraduate and postgraduate design.
