UFAM Faculty of Arts launches first edition of scientific journal
The first issue of the FAARTES Journal, a scientific journal of the Faculty of Arts of the Federal University of Amazonas (FAARTES/UFAM), is now available. This inaugural issue of the journal brings together articles presented during the International Piano Seminar and the II National Seminar on the Memory of the Arts in the Amazon, held in two stages, between September and October 2024, in the cities of Manaus and Tefé.
The events converged to celebrate the multiple expressions and interactions of art and culture from this territory, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, artists, professors, students, and the community at large through the intersection of theories, practices, and identities.
Since their first editions, the seminars have established themselves as spaces for the visibility and debate of research developed within the university environment, with a special focus on the contributions of social minorities with little or no representation. Likewise, these initiatives have contributed to strengthening relations between the cultures of Brazil and the United States, through exchanges with Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), fostering a positive environment for collaboration between researchers from the Amazon, other regions of Brazil, and other countries.
About the Journal
The FAARTES Journal is a biannual online publication with an independent editorial line. It is open to all individuals developing academic research in the arts, or multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary research, with a subject situated in and/or connected to the creation and thinking of artistic languages. Contributions will be received and published continuously starting with v.1 no. 2 (2025).
The journal seeks to disseminate unpublished works by undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and researchers in the arts field or those who engage in dialogue with this field, guided by a vision of the arts as a human and social phenomenon, which relates objects of study to their respective contexts and conceptual frameworks, from a critical perspective.
