Interdisciplinary Studies for Cultural Heritage
The group Interdisciplinary Studies for Cultural Heritage is an updated reformulation of the research group Regional History, that was created in 2002 and nowadays studies the cultural heritage. The group started its activities through the research project Public Hospital and Social Imaginary at the End of the Century, associated to the field of social representations and that resulted on the book “Hospital público é assim mesmo!”: representações sociais sobre um hospital público no final do século XX (by Sandra P. L. de Camargo Guedes and Eleide A. G. Findlay, Editora Univille, 2003). In the same year, the group published another book, this time towards the field of historical heritage: Cine Palácio: fragmentos da história do cinema em Joinville (by Sandra P. L. de Camargo Guedes and students of the undergraduate course in History of Univille, Editora Univille, 2003). Besides books, many scientific papers have been published, written by researchers and scholarship holders for scientific initiation and master’s degree. From 2003 to 2006, the group developed the project Social Representations on the Historic and Precolonial Heritage of Babitonga Bay’s Surrounding Cities, which made possible to be closer to the cities that are part of the area. This investigation resulted on a new, more extensive and interdisciplinary research, that aims to elaborate a historical atlas of Babitonga Bay region. Since 2008, the group has been oriented to interdisciplinary research, mainly towards the cultural heritage. In 2013, the group concluded a wide interdisciplinary investigation about the cultural heritage of Rita Island and Saí District, both in Santa Catarina, that aggregated professionals and students of the fields of History, Archaeology, Architecture, Biology, Sociology, and Geography. The current projects are oriented to the internationalization of the investigations, mainly through the project Representations of Brazil and Brazilian People in Museums. Linked to the archaeological heritage, there is the project Precolonial Human Settlements in East Coast of São Francisco do Sul Island/SC: Contribution to Coastal Archaeology and Ethnic Studies, also contemplating students of the Specialization in Archaeology.

Culture and Sustainability
The group aggregates researchers concerned about the interdisciplinary comprehension and analysis of the constitution of environmental cultural heritage. The scientific production of the members of the group has prioritized the investigation of topics related to the social and political dynamics that articulate discourses of sustainability and power. Contemporary theory about cultural studies is part of the discussion of issues like preservation, perception and social representation of cultural landscape, environmental and industrial cultural heritage and contexts of these issues that stand in the way of the conceptions of memory and identity.

Interrelations of Languages
The group deals with the interrelations of languages. The conceptual proposal is to think the hybridization of languages in the contemporaneity and its effects on culture. Borders, boundaries, and the formation of the hybridization as a cultural locus have always occurred, but they have been expanding very fast in communication society. According to this, it is intended to foment the discussion about the processes of transformation of languages and its effects on culture.

Subjectivities and (Auto)biography?
The objective of the debates of the group is the challenges of working with the life writing and the understanding that the (auto)biographic registry is a heuristic production. The debates about the rhizomes built with the (auto)biographies in social networks, the democratization of narratives, the discourses implied in the self-architectures, in the self-technologies, or in oneself and the processes of contemporary subjectivations are present and go through investigations about discursive practices in the political field of education and memory. The group is concerned about the construction of connected archives of (auto)biographies that mainly deals with the chronical condition of diseases, the contemporary discourses and the production of subjectivities related to discourses towards the precarity of life, the helplessness, and social vulnerability, and, at the same time, with epistemological implications of this kind of narrative, as well as the political values and factors of democratization of life stories as cultural heritage.
