About the program

The Stricto Sensu Post-Graduation Program in Communication and Consumption Practices at ESPM (PPGCOM ESPM) began in 2006 with the academic Master's course and had the PhD course approved in 2012. It aims to train teachers and researchers of high level, with competence in national and international performance, able to perform and lead research activities, guidance and teaching in the area of communication and consumption. Its faculty and students have recognized intellectual production and the program is evaluated as grade 5 by CAPES.

Differential and approach

The program's differential is the theme investigated: it is the first and only Brazilian PPGCOM entirely dedicated to the study of the interface between communication and consumption and the relationships articulated to it. The critical analysis of the mass and consumer society, of media cultures and capital narratives, includes the study of classical theories and the discussion of contemporary approaches. It is a priority of PPGCOM to promote an intellectual environment committed to the national and international scientific agenda and to the development of Brazilian society.
