Art and Culture – Essays

Distinct and autonomous voices intersect to compose the book Art and Culture – Essays and present a broad reflection on the paths of current artistic and cultural productions. Edited by writer and researcher Maurício Barros de Castro, this volume assembles authors around the lines of research at State University of Rio de Janeiro – Arts graduate school program (PPGArtes-UERJ). The 24 essays written by researchers and professors, many of them artists as well, traverse questions such as language, performance, subject, city, image, writing and alterity.
