Transdisciplinarity of preservation: postgraduate programs associated with conservation and restoration in the Brazilian context
The sphere of knowledge covers complex gradations, whose evolution differs according to the approximation and relationships between disciplines. Transdisciplinarity results from the interdisciplinary process whose relationships are deep and cooperative. Considering this and the fact that Brazil does not have any master or doctoral degrees in Conservation and Restoration of Movable Cultural Heritage, this research aimed to identify the postgraduate programs developing interdisciplinary projects in conservation and restoration in the country. Accordingly, the areas of knowledge with strong relations with conservation and restoration were listed from the University graduate’s curricular matrices in the country. Then, a search was carried out in the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Catalog. This study identified programs and institutions developing projects on conservation and restoration, creating transdisciplinary dialogues on the field of preservation.
