Classes began last week.
Last year, I was invited by the direction of the Art Studies Course, which is offered by the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Coimbra, to be an Auxiliary Professor of Film Studies. I accepted it. I am also coordinating the whole area of film and image studies of the course that involves other teachers. It was tough to leave Lisbon and the New University of Lisbon, where I taught for a year — even though I am still affiliated with the Institute for the Philosophy of Language (and participating in its ongoing research project on film and philosophy). I am still adapting, but it is my conviction that it was the right choice to take on this challenge, both personally and professionally. Here is a list of the modules that I am teaching this year:
Undergraduate:
Cinema History and Aesthetics I
Cinema History and Aesthetics II
Cinema History and Aesthetics III
Cinema Seminar
Film Criticism
Graduate:
Cinema and Other Arts
