Abstract

Scientific journal of the Graduate Program in Art History at the Federal University of São Paulo, Imagem: Revista de História da Arte is honored to announce, with this edition, its fifth volume. Marking the consolidation phase of the journal as a vehicle for academic debates and scientific dissemination in the expanded field of research that conceives Art History within the interdisciplinary space of the Humanities, Imagem presents in this volume the cultural contact points and artistic and visual dialogues between the United Kingdom and Brazil across an extended historical timeframe from the 17th to the 21st century. This is the "TACWARA DOSSIER - Artistic and Artistic-Cultural Relations between the United Kingdom and Brazil," organized by Prof. André Luiz Tavares Pereira from the Department of Art History at UNIFESP, bringing together contributions from Brazilian and foreign experts on the fascinating topic involving a vast geographical space marked by human contacts and circulations. Above all, the dossier enables a deeper understanding of the formative routes of art and culture in Brazil across different periods, always conceived within the scope of contacts and exchanges, that is, the constant movement that is the hallmark of history. The volume is complemented by Jefferson Mendes' thought-provoking text on methodological approaches in the study of images and Isabela Torres Rodrigues' article on mechanical trades related to woodwork in the Luso-Brazilian context between the 18th and 19th centuries.
