A cultura nos congresos de pesquisa, ensino e extensão da Universidade Federal da Bahia.

Abstract

This work presents the results of the investigation into the presence of culture on the schedule of the Congresses of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) in the editions held from 2016 to 2019, a space for dialogue between the most diverse knowledge produced in the programs of student assistance and promotion of research, extension and teaching, in all areas of knowledge and involving undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research and extension. In the methodological approach, we used the reports issued by the Event Management System (GERE) team ‒ system of submission and evaluation of activities, made available for research in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format and we applied the methodology of filtering pre-established and assorted keywords for data production, using automated search through R language. The data analysis assumes the concept of culture in a more organizational perspective of the cultural field, recognizing the intentionality of producing, transmitting and consuming works and practices of intellectual and artistic activity as a parameter for belonging to the cultural sphere in its sociological dimension. The results indicate that, in a transversal way, culture is present in all areas of knowledge at this Institution and that UFBA occupies a prominent place in cultural studies in the Brazilian university environment.
