Presentation
Visual Culture links and reflects the measure of an era, integrating, in this aspect, also what we take for History. The questioning of the notion of perspective proves to be foundational to frame the notion of "visual culture", in which representation, narrative and figuration are presented as some of the parameters that guide the contemplation of the real from subjective bodies (normative or marginalized). In this Curricular Unit, we will look at the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, paying attention to technological and signification devices, and approaching various preponderant cultural and symbolic forms, analyzing from them the artistic practices (gestures and discourses) that inform the notion of Visual Culture .

Objectives
Objectives
At the end of this UC, it is expected that the student will be able to look at History and Culture as open and always changing territories. It is also expected that, based on the different modules and exercises proposed, students will feel provoked and stimulated to develop original associations between moments, phenomena and artistic practices. In the set of modules, a range of concepts and terminologies will be addressed that are expected to become part of the students' lexicon, namely: Author; Constructions; Materialism; Real; Virtual; Interactivity; Production; Culture; Sub-Culture; Counter-Culture; Image; Mounting; History; Earth; World; File; Memory; Image; Technique; Mechanical Reproduction; Temporality; Post-Medium Condition; Ready-Made; Quite; chance; Gesture; Form; Occupation; Decadence; Anthropocene; Alienation; Mise-On-Display; Mise-En-Quadre, among others.
