The History of Art has undergone several transformations that expanded its field, whether in what is considered Art, or in approaches applied to the artistic object and the system of arts.  Themes like studies of image, materiality and circulation of objects, reproducibility, gender, history of exhibitions, media and visual anthropology enrich the theoretical framework of the field and present new objects, as well as new views of traditional themes.  This line of research, therefore, aims at training students in the new fields of knowledge of History of Art, without being limited to pre-established geographic spaces or time frames, and debate theoretical issues referring to the development of new methods and instruments from a transnational perspective, as is the case of non-European artistic traditions.
