History
The
Master’s
Program
in
Language
Sciences
was
created
in 1998,
offering
areas of
concentration
in
Theory
and
Analysis
of
Languages
and
Linguistics
Applied
to
Teaching.
In 2001,
the
Program
expanded
to
Palhoça,
offering
the area
of
concentration
in
Language
and
Information
Technology.
In 2002,
a new
curriculum
was
implemented
aiming
to align
the
Program
with the
National
Graduate
System
(SNPG/CAPES).
The
program
was
agglutinated
into a
unique
concentration
area
named
Language,
Media
and
Discursive
Processes,
and
three
research
lines:
Discursive
Analysis
of
Semantic
Processes,
Textualities
and
Discursive
Practices,
and
Language,
Culture
and
Media.
An
Evaluating
Committee
from
CAPES,
composed
by Dr.
Sírio
Possenti
(UNICAMP)
and Dr.
Dermeval
da Hora
Oliveira
(UFPB),
evaluated
the
proposal
in
February
2003.
The
Arts/Linguistics
Committee
accredited
the
Course
in
January
2004.
The
Ministry
of
Education
recognized
the
course
on
December
21,
2004.
The
first
admissions
to the
Capes
Curriculum
took
place in
the
first
semester
of 2004.
In 2007,
the
course
participated
of its
first
triennial
evaluation,
maintaining
the
concept
3.
In 2007,
the
Graduate
Program
in
Language
Sciences
(PPGCL)
elaborated,
and then
submitted
to CAPES
in 2008,
the
project
for the
Doctoral
Program
in
Language
Sciences.
The
concentration
area was
called
Textual,
Discursive
and
Cultural
Processes,
with
three
research
lines:
Textuality
and
Discursive
Practices,
Discursive
Analysis
of
Semantic
Process,
and
Language
and
Cultural
Processes
(more
recently
rearranged
in two
research
lines:
Text and
Discourse,
and
Language
and
Culture).
On
December
2, 2008,
the
Evaluating
Committee
from
CAPES,
composed
by Dr.
Diana
Luz
Pessoa
de
Barros
(UPM)
and Dr.
Célia
Marques
Telles
(UFBA),
evaluated
the
Program.
The
CAPES
Technical
Consulting
Council
approved
the
project
on
December
10,
2008,
and the
Ministry
of
Education
recognized
the
Doctoral
Program
(Ordinance
number
589 of
June 18,
2009).
The
first
admissions
to the
Doctoral
Program
occurred
in
mid-2009,
with the
classes
starting
in July.
In 2010
and
2013,
the
PPGCL
obtained
the
concept
4 from
CAPES
through
the
evaluation
of the
triennia
2007-2009,
and
2010-2012.
By
December
31,
2015,
316
Masters's
and 35
PhDs
degrees
had been
awarded
by
PPGCL.
Objectives
The
PPGCL
aims at
two main
objectives:
a) to
promote
research
on
language
in its
textual,
discursive
and
cultural
dimensions;
b) to
qualify
professionals
in
Literature,
Film and
Audiovisual,
Journalism,
Advertising
and
related
areas
for
research
and the
production
of
knowledge
about
languages,
and for
teaching
in
higher
education.
Areas of
Concentration
PPGCL
defines
its
unique
area of
concentration
as
Textual,
Discursive
and
Cultural
Processes.
The
Master’s
and
Doctoral
Programs
are
organized
around
language
studies
that
highlight
social
practices
of
linguistic
interaction,
discursive
processes
of
meaning
production,
and
aesthetic-cultural
manifestations.
In other
words,
the area
of
concentration
consists
in
Graduate
studies
on:
a) Oral
and
written
interactions
as
components
of
socially
situated
discursive
practices;
b)
Processes
of
meaning
production,
from its
subjective
dimension
to its
social,
historical
and
ideological
dimension;
and
c)
Verbal
and
non-verbal
languages
and
their
correlations
in
modernity
and
contemporaneity,
as well
as the
aesthetic
and
cultural
manifestations,
with
emphasis
on the
symbolic
production
and its
several
supports.
Research
Lines
PPGCL
has two
research
lines:
Text and
Discourse,
and
Language
and
Culture.
The
research
line
Text and
Discourse
deals
with
processes
of
meaning
production
in their
subjective,
social,
historical
and
ideological
dimensions.
The
research
projects
connected
to this
research
line
understand
that
meaning
processes
always
happen
int
specific
and
unique
social
events,
activating
not only
language,
but also
material
determinations.
The
research
line
Language
and
Culture
deals
with
verbal
and
non-verbal
languages
and
their
correlations
in
modernity
and
contemporaneity,
as well
as with
aesthetic
and
cultural
manifestations,
with
emphasis
on the
symbolic
production
and its
many
supports.
Research
projects
connected
to this
research
line
work
into an
intersection
between
the
fields
of
Literature,
Visual
Arts,
Drama,
Music,
Photography,
Film,
Fashion,
Anthropology,
and
Communication.
Student
and Alumni
Profile
PPGCL
attends
to
undergraduates
from
Language,
Literature,
Film,
and
Social
Communication
degrees.
Moreover,
considering
the
multidisciplinary
dimension
of the
concentration
area,
PPGCL
receives
students
from a
variety
of other
areas
who show
an
interest
in
textual,
discursive
and
cultural
objects.
The
alumni
profile
is
centered
on the
competences
as
researcher
and
professor
in Arts
area.
This
profile
must
result
of the
student’s
participation
in
academic
activities:
classes
and
seminars
on
specific
subjects,
theoretical
and
practical
researches,
research
groups,
academic
meetings,
teaching
internship,
etc.
The
alumni
profile
is
centered
on the
competences
for
teaching
and
research
in the
grater
field of
Arts.
This
profile
results
from the
student’s
participation
in
academic
activities:
classes
and
seminars
on
specific
subjects,
theoretical
and
practical
researches,
research
groups,
academic
meetings,
teaching
internship,
etc.
The
competences
developed
by the
Master’s
and PhD
degree
in
Language
Sciences
reflect
three
aspects:
theoretical,
practical,
and
ethical.
The
theoretical
aspect
aims to
complement,
update
and
improve
the
student’s
theoretical
knowledge,
thus
enabling
students
to:
a) To
proceed
his/her
own
analysis
and
synthesis
of the
theoretical
reflection;
b) To
observe
the
language
critically,
as a
multifaceted
phenomenon
and
liable
of
multiple
approaches:
cognitive,
social,
interactional,
historical,
cultural,
political,
and
ideological;
c) To
problematize
critically
the
theoretical
perspectives
applied
to the
investigations
in
language;
d) To
advance
the area’s
conceptual
and
theoretical
context,
producing
and
socializing
knowledge.
The
practical
aspect
aims to
the
research
and
teaching
activities,
unleashing
actions
that
enable
the
student
to
dominate:
a) form
their
own
analysis
and
synthesis
of
theories;
b)
critically
approach
language
as a
multifaceted
phenomenon
and
liable
to
multiple
approaches:
cognitive,
social,
interactional,
historical,
cultural,
political,
and
ideological;
c)
critically
problematize
theoretical
perspectives;
d)
advance
the
area’s
conceptual
and
theoretical
context,
producing
and
socializing
knowledge.
The
practical
aspect
relates
to
research
and
teaching
activities
which
aim to
enable
students
to
master:
a) The
theories,
methods,
and
techniques
related
to the
research
activity;
b)
academic
writing;
c)
proficient
and
critical
reading;
d) The
practice
of
reflexive
teaching
(because
the
activities
are
proposed,
executed,
and
evaluated
constantly).
The
ethical
aspect
aims to
question
the
influence
of
research
and
teaching
activities
in
society.
This
nucleus
is not
developed
by
activities
properly,
but by
themes:
the
evaluation
on the
ethical
precautions
involved
in
research
and
teaching
procedures,
the
issues
about
freedom,
non-retrenchment,
clarity
and
responsibility
in this
process,
among
other
aspects.
The
achievement
of this
profile
involves
the
commitment
with the
triple
function
of
teaching,
research,
and
extension
demande
by
Universidade
do Sul
de Santa
Catarina
–
UNISUL.
Regarding
to
teaching
PPGCL
seeks to
help
students
to:
(critically)
master
the
knowledge
in the
specific
area of
research,
develop
autonomy,
and to
commit
with
their
professional
practice.
Concerning
research,
activities
of
investigation
are
permanently
generated
and
stimulated,
supported
by
theoretical
knowledge
articulated
with the
methods
in
Language
Sciences.
As for
extension,
PPGCL
systematically
promotes
activities
that
enable
students
to bring
knowledge
generated
in the
University
to the
external
community,
aiming
to
stimulate
the
conscious
role of
an
innovative
agent,
comprehending
the
results
of the
researches
as
social
and
public
assets.

related
to their
research
project.
This
phase
aims to
establish
an
explicit
connection
between
academic
and
research
formation.
Through
Special
Topics,
advisers
present
theories
and
methodologies
that
will
support
their
advisees’
research
projects.
During
the 2nd
semester
and on
the way
through
the 3rd
semester,
students
participate
in
Advanced
Seminaries.
This
course
has two
stages:

their
dissertation
project;
secondly,
the
students
present
the
project
to an
examination
board
and to
