This line of research approaches themes and problematizes matters connected to the production of subjectivity, sexuality, feminisms and environment, from the perspective of Cultural History, artistic expression and material culture.  It investigates the historical forms of power and counter-power manifestations, articulating them with the concepts of class, gender, ethnicity and race as social constructions.  It promotes reflections on the historicity of cultures and our present in their multiple time and space layers, like in critical analyses of neoliberalism, socio-environmental collapses and crises, as well as the investigation of ruptures, insurgencies and counter-conducts in collective and individual practices. The line works on the Material Culture, considered a new field of historical investigation, useful for studies on Classical Antiquity, as well as for studies related to Modernity and Post-Modernity.  It proposes reflection on the contemporaneity understood as capitalism’s crisis phase, incorporating, on the one hand, the critic of representation and the mediating function of images, and, on the other hand, the critic of work and socialization of the value. It develops and encourages historical research on material culture, radical social, cultural and political movements in the 20th and 21th centuries, poetics and feminist practices, studies on counterculture and also the historical processes of socio-environmental degradation and regression that are notably speeding up in the last half century.
