Epistemologias, culturas e vozes interdisciplinares

Abstract

With this collection, which received the title Epistemologies, Cultures and Interdisciplinary Voices, the Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Program in Human Sciences (PPGICH) of the State University of Amazonas (UEA) advances in consolidating its editorial project, whose essential objectives are : systematically disseminate their research work highlighting themes and theoretical and methodological approaches; provide its professors and researchers with the opportunity to publish, sometimes firsthand, studies that are in full swing; contribute to strengthening and expanding the dialogue with other editorial programs from different research institutions in the Amazon region and the country. The series of essays gathered in this volume reflect and express as a whole the different theoretical and thematic paths pointed out in its three parts, corresponding to the three lines of research maintained by our PPGICH-UEA. The texts we are publishing now result from the participation in V Transfronteiras, promoted by this Program between October 21 and 23, 2020. In a year devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic, we collectively faced the challenge of keeping a fully functioning Graduate Program that is not only interdisciplinary, but also multicampi since its inception. In an unprecedented way, the V Transfronteiras, whose theme "Epistemologies, Cultures and Interdisciplinary Voices" gives the title to this volume, was carried out completely remotely, making use of various Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) - Youtube, Google Meet, Zoom, Google Drive, among others – with which we have become more intimate this last year. These technologies, if, on the one hand, separated us physically, on the other, they allowed the PPGICH centers based in Manaus and Tefé to be closer and closer. The themes explored and analyzed by authors from different backgrounds and intellectual interests constitute an evident contribution towards consolidating and strengthening the interdisciplinary nature of our PPGICH, which has already been taking place throughout the development of the various activities of the Program by offering disciplines, organization of seminars and production of research aimed at conducting dissertations, all these initiatives contributing to its interdisciplinarity.
