International Conference Theatre: Aesthetics and Power Lisbon, 21-22 November 2013 Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras
As an aesthetic, literary and philosophical expression, theatre has had a central role in the human spirit since ancient Greece. Theatre is not only a mirror of human passions and the satirical mirths they can provoke, but also an expression of the political phenomena where it is possible to feel the pulse of society. Theatrical performance is a complex reality, inviting to a wide range of analysis and perspectives. Theatre can be either an individual voice of perplexity or resistance, of satire or turmoil or a collective political voice, as it grows from the polis and into the polis sheds its strength. This conference aims to promote a reflection on theatre and its multiple dimensions: performative, literary, philosophical, historical, political and social, as well as its interaction with other arts.
The conference will be organized into plenary sessions (with invited speakers) and parallel sessions.
