The Graduate Program in Culture and Territorialities (PPCULT), linked to UFF’s Institute of Art and Social Communication, was approved in 2012 by CAPES, having received, in its first four-yearly evaluation (2013-2016), score 4. It results from the demand of professors and students of Universidade Federal Fluminense for a greater investment in research and studies in the field of culture and territorialities, given its growing importance in contemporary times.
