Recent results from IFU surveys, as SAURON and CALIFA, changed our view of galaxy classification, proposing to use the kinematic balance between rotation and random motion in a galaxy, in order to classify galaxies into fast and slow rotators; with some of the fast rotators presenting spiral arms. In this new view, lenticular galaxies, which traditionally fall at the apex of the Hubble tuning fork, between elliptical and spiral galaxies, will naturally fall in the fast-rotator group. It is now to be understood if all fast rotators are lenticular galaxies or whether there are different path to create fast rotators and even lenticular galaxies. In this talk, the speaker will present results from planetary nebulae and globular clusters kinematics to tackle this issue. She will show some recent works that study the relation between kinematics and morphological parameters (obtained using MegaMorph and Morfometrika) for galaxies in the CALIFA survey. Finally, she will introduce a new Brazilian-Spanish survey (J-PAS), that will observe the northern sky in 56 filters, and the south and north hemisphere in 12 filters (S-PLUS and J-PLUS).
