 Archiving background

Urdimento was launched in 1997 as a periodical of the Theater Research Center for Latin America, of the Center of Arts (CEART) and the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC), having Professor André Carreira as its creator and editor until 2003.

In 2004 Urdimento became a journal of the Post-Graduate Program in Theater (PPGT). The editorship passed to the charge of Edélcio Mostaço and its annual periodicity was normalized. In 2005 Urdimento conquered the concept A next to CAPES's qualis for national periodicals.

In 2006 the Urdimento's editorship adopted the policy of publishing in the cover and in the back cover images of plays produced in the disciplines of Theatrical Assemblage I and II of CEART's graduation course in Theater.

In 2007 the journal takes on the definitive nomenclature, which it keeps until today (2021), being called Urdimento - Journal of Performing Arts Studies.

In 2008 Urdimento reformulated its internal structure by adopting the thematic dossiers in its sections. And it became a biannual journal. Changes in structures also occurred in 2011 when the section Photo-Essay of Performances was created, with the intention of giving visibility to the scenic processes of CEART's teachers and students, creating a historical record of their productions.

With v. 1 n. 22 (2014) Urdimento ceased to be printed and became an exclusively online periodical, thus adapting to the new media and propositions of national and international periodicals. And the changes continued when in 2017 this journal became a four-monthly edition. And it was its viability as an online journal that enabled its maintenance and growth during the 2020/2021 pandemic.

The changes of Urdimento, throughout the twenty-five years of its history (1997-2023), reveal that this journal remains alive and in permanent search of approaching the contemporary or historical theater thought and practice. And, with that, Urdimento reinvents itself and appropriates itself of the new tools coming from the implementation of the Master's and Doctorate courses in Theater, with CEART/UDESC. In this path, different editor(s) have assumed the responsibility of continuing to produce this relevant periodical, today qualis A1 at CAPES, and have narrowed the links between artistic production at graduation and theoretical/practical reflection at post-graduation.
