Overall objectives:

1. This discipline raises awareness about two types of expressions/languages: theatre and cinema.

2. In the 1st module, we opt to begin with the 20th century, and to problematize the paths of Europe contemporary dramaturgy in a comparative perspective.

3. The 2nd module has its objective to create bases to a reflection about cinema, through debates/exchange of ideas, adopting different problematics, both the forms and contents. The module is constituted by two parts: the first one is related to conditions for the codification and its institutionalisation; the defined elements of cinematographic modernity and its historical and esthetic consequences will be introduced, until nowadays, in the second part.

4. Morever, it intends to decrypt some elements of the cinematographic language through the visioning of film excerpts - West Side Story -, in group context discussion, from an observation, transcription and anthropological interpretation, in a limited dialog refering to a territory concept.

Evaluation Methodology: During the theoretical lectures, the UC exposes and discusses the syllabus contents. In the theoretical-practical lectures and the tutorial supervisions, the improvement of the interactions between teacher and students - among students themselves - are to be considered and reiforced, aiming at motivating the acquisition, the understanding and the practice of knowledge in the framework of the studies of theatre and cinema. The UC also encourages the students to carry out research, to achieve data concerning the covered UC and in indicating other bibliographic references (which are absent in the general bibliography). The contents of the UC syllabus, which are lectured in theory and practice and in the tutorial supervision as well are subjected to periodical assessment. With the objective to assess the students' acquired knowledge, a written test (50%) and a research work (50%) have to be fulfilled. For this purpose, the students will choose one of the two modules from this UC.
