Created in 1985 with the aim of publishing works of scientific and cultural value that are representative of the teaching, research and extension work of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Editora UFMG has established itself over the last decade as one of the most active publishing houses in the country. 5m5362
Derived from an editorial policy based on a contemporary and multidisciplinary perspective, committed to the dissemination of scientific and cultural knowledge, Editora UFMG’s catalogue reflects the growth of postgraduate programmes and research at UFMG. Through the diversity and quality of the works and authors published, both nationally and internationally, it reflects the scientific and cultural exchange that prevails in our academic environment. Our proposal is to encourage academic transit between internal production, national production and international production, with the publication of leading authors in contemporary thought, many of them translated for the first time in the country.
The intensive exercise of this editorial policy both s an innovation in language and in the choice of themes in the universe of university publishing houses and reveals a concern to break with disciplinary conservatism and the hierarchy between the various discourses that make up the academic field. At the same time, we seek to contribute to the preservation and dissemination of national memory through the publication of texts referring to the different works carried out in the University’s different collections.
In 2013 we reached the milestone of 1,000 titles published and in 2014 we began producing e-books in order to respond to the new challenges brought about by the major changes in the way knowledge is produced, circulated and stored and, specifically, in publishing technologies, which no longer have the paper book as their preferred and exclusive medium. By entering the world of the digital book, we are seeking to respond to an increased demand for faster and more democratic access to information, expressing the new ways of reading and writing that have characterised knowledge in contemporary times.
