Courses Degree in Humanities

Special attention will be granted to works such as A Costa dos Murmúrios, O último voo do Flamingo and Cidade de Deus; to figures such as Almada Negreiros and Tarsila do Amaral; to experimental poetry and interpreters of Portuguese poetry, such as Amália Rodrigues, Marisa, Camané, Trovante, Manuel Freire, Sérgio Godinho, José Maria Branco, José Afonso, Rui Veloso, Vitorino, Janita Salomé, Vinícius de Moraes, Chico Buarque, Maria Bethânia and Caetano Veloso, among others.

Artistic production/creation
Lusophony
This course unit seeks to provide students with general skills in the literary, cultural and artistic production, from a broad, cultural and academic perspective, both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. As such, the goal will be to allow students to develop a set of general competences within the literary, artistic and general cultural fields, in accordance with pluridiscursive, cultural and academic perspective. Privileging a comparative and dialogical (in the Bakhtinian sense) methodology, a reflection on the relation between certain literary and artistic productions will be undertaken, as (and especially) on some of the more important fundamental esthetic principles that have explained and legitimated the relation between literature and the other arts of Portuguese expression, with special attention afforded to the 20th century.
Literature and other arts: the objects and boundaries of the relationship; literature and other arts: encounters and transpositions; literature and the debate on the esthetic theory of art; literary creation/production and artistic creation/production; Ut pictura poesis; literature and music; literature and cinema; literature and painting.
