The Academic Master’s Degree in History, Politics and Cultural Assets aims to train high-level professionals who are up-to-date regarding the methodological and epistemological debates that characterize the field of History and Social Sciences, with an emphasis on the historical dimension of social phenomena and the adoption of an interdisciplinary perspective. These professionals are expected to join national and international networks of knowledge production, dimensions considered crucial both for the quality of academic production and for the training of teaching staff at their different levels, in particular higher education. Please visit the website of the Graduate Program in History, Politics and Cultural Assets (PPHPBC), https://cpdoc.fgv.br/pos/mad/historico, for more information.
Course duration: 24 months
“Due to the continuation of an uncertain scenario in relation to the future of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2022 post-graduate disciplines will be offered in a remote format. If a return to hybrid teaching (remote and on-site) is possible, PPHPBC will seek to create conditions to ensure the health safety of professors, staff, and students. However, in 2022 if classes occur in a hybrid manner, there will be no requirement for physical presence in the classroom.”
RESEARCH LINES
Institutions and policy: Research on institutions and politics is at the root of FGV CPDOC’s identity and marks the production of a significant number of professors linked to the Program. The subject of the analysis comprises, fundamentally, the actions, practices and perceptions of social groups and institutions, as well as individuals. Studies in this line contribute to a better understanding of the processes of institutional construction and decision making in the structure of public power; explore the role of political and social leaders, as well as their multiple and complex interfaces with broader political institutions; discuss public policies and their social reflexes in the construction of citizenship, and give academic solidity to the studies of biographies and personal trajectories.
Memory and culture: The history of memory and the central place it occupies in processes of constitution of social identities are key dimensions to the work developed by a large number of professors in the Program. This line of research brings together investigative itineraries that address the concepts of heritage, culture (material and immaterial), tradition, and representation, conceived based on different supports and languages. The topics range from Brazilian social thinking to football, from museums to film and television, and from popular festivals to civic celebrations, for example. In addition, it should be noted that an important part of the research developed in this line is based on FGV CPDOC’s tradition of developing methodologies for the treatment of archives and the constitution of oral history collections, always in line with the critical reflection on the social processes of production and circulation of historical sources.
International relations: This research line comprises a series of research and analysis activities on the transformations of the international order, foreign policies of nation states, and the international performance of non-state stakeholders. Research activities include not only those that are exclusively in the field of International Relations, but also studies that draw on conceptual frameworks from other fields of knowledge – such as history, sociology, economics, and law – with the aim of understanding phenomena of history and international politics. Topics addressed in this research line include global transformations and emerging powers, regional integration processes and foreign policy of the European Union, comparative foreign policies, international security, and global history.

All students accepted in the Academic Master’s degree will be exempt from monthly tuition and fees.
Students should take two compulsory subjects (History and Social Theory and Methods and research techniques), two optional subjects and two research seminars, the latter corresponding to the stage of preparation of the dissertation by the supervisors. The subject History and Social Theory, always offered in the first semester, aims to discuss how History and Social Sciences have fertilized each other in recent decades, highlighting major thematic areas in which this dialogue has proved most fruitful: Social History and the new Political History, Historical Sociology, and Cultural History. The course seeks to map recent theoretical debates in the field of history, working as a presentation of these debates for students of the Master’s degree.
