RUFA – Rome University of Fine Arts, in order to facilitate the path of those who intend to enter the third cycle of studies, as part of a collaboration agreement with the University of Roma Tre (Department of Philosophy, Communication and Performing Arts) offers a PhD in associate form in ‘Cultures, practices and technologies of cinema, media, music, theatre and dance’ for which the academy provides two PNRR PhD scholarships.
The training project envisages an innovative dialogue between audiovisual and performing arts theories and practices, both on the level of research objects and methodologies and on the level of the respective institutional competences of the entities associated with the PhD.
RESEARCH > 3 YEARSAVAILABLE RESEARCH GRANTS > 2
The PhD program pays particular attention to the historical-critical, theoretical-analytical, performative, technological, and socio-cultural dimensions of topics related to the fields of performance, aligning with the international scenarios of contemporary academic research and with an interdisciplinary openness to the complex fabric of techniques and knowledge that characterize, on one hand, artistic productions and their media contexts, and on the other, the physical and environmental refractions of studies on sound and images.
The multidisciplinarity and innovative nature of the research lines allow for overcoming the limitations of the sectoral nature of individual fields, also through cultural and technological innovation aimed at fostering the understanding of the specificities and complexities of cultural heritage, with particular reference to the relationship between tangible and intangible heritage and related practices of digital archiving and documentation.
The PhD program thus offers specialized training that provides the necessary skills to carry out highly qualified research activities at universities, AFAM institutions, public entities, or private organizations (also for the purpose of accessing careers in public administrations and integrating highly innovative professional paths) in the fields of cinema, photography, television, digital media, music, theater, and dance according to cultural, sociological, technological, and artistic-performative contexts.
At the same time, the program allows for adequate preparation to assume responsibility roles in cultural institutions, both artistically and administratively. It also equips individuals with the tools to conduct activities related to the evaluation of the acoustic quality of spaces (soundscape). Finally, there are potential career opportunities both in academia and teaching in secondary schools, concerning the teaching classes related to audiovisual and music disciplines.
Associates: Università Roma Tre, Fondazione Centro Sperimentale Cinematografia, Fondazione Roma Tre Teatro Palladium, Accademia Nazionale di Danza, Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia, Conservatorio di Brescia, and Università di Teramo.
