Cinema, beyond cinema, and cinema once more.
We will explore authors, trends and movements that have contributed to the legitimisation and evolution of the art of cinema, creating or reinventing its language and practices. By anchoring concepts, films and gestures in the history of cinema, we shall look at the early days of the 7th art — the first public screening of the Cinématographe, the journeys and shots of the Lumière brothers, the
revelation of a vision of the world and the possibilities of cinema — and at the early days of television — the involvement of filmmakers and artists in the
public television project, the critical and utopian visions of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Roberto Rossellini, and, on the other hand, the pioneers of video art, the subversion of the CRT (cathode ray tube),
challenging the balance between the roles of the sender and the receiver of images. We conclude with a reflection on the migrations of contemporary cinema towards
new forms and spaces of presentation.

In the creative act, as in its reception, aesthetic experience tends to exceed the limits of perceptibility. Following the path of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze's transcendental empiricism, the course will approach this fact from the point of view of an aesthetics of the virtual as it can amplify the perception of forms through the forces that trigger, populate and express them. This course focuses on studying three main axes – space, time and creation – and establishing connections with other authors' different artistic processes and philosophical thoughts that support the meaning that crosses them. By following the future orientation that seems to define modern and contemporary art, the course also seeks to think about the potency of art in transforming the world.

“Letters that are not mailed cease to be missives for possible friends; they turn into archived things” (Peter Sloterdijk, 2000)*. The writings and testimonies of and about artists, in their most varied forms - diaries, letters, lessons and reflections - allow us to explore the theme of the creative process and its aesthetic and philosophical reflection, crossing in a non-linear way different generations, epochs and artistic movements (approaching the cases of romanticism, modernity, modernism, postmodernism and contemporary art). Instead of becoming “archived objects”, the writings become messages for their recipients and “possible friends”.

From Nature the ground, the water and the heat were harnessed to build shelters and defence works. With terra sigilata and pigments small mugs and casseroles and tiles for the walls and for roof and eave were made. Burned ground was used for clay jug, olive oil jar or water drinking in a scented Estremoz contain-er. And small beautiful fine porcelain figures – or ugly as the devil in popular handicraft – have been pro-duced.
Between sacred and profane – prehistoric flutes, ornaments for godesses and warriors, lamentations in churches, oratories in crossroads and paths, micro-conducters in technology - it takes all sorts of things to make a world and an entire world to know its history and art.
