Dr Luciana da Costa Dias
BA, MA, PhD
Dr. Luciana da Costa Dias is core founder of the Performing Arts Post-Graduate Program at the Federal University of Ouro Preto (PPGAC/ UFOP), in Brazil, working at UFOP as Associate Professor of Aesthetic and Theatre Theory since 2011. She is also a founder member of the Brazilian research group: "APORIA: Philosophy and Theatre Studies” since 2014. Her doctoral degree in Philosophy is from University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), having developed her doctoral studies, partially, with a DAAD scholarship, at the Freiburg Universität, under the supervision of Dr. Günther Figal. She also has extensive training in visual arts, painting, theatre and art history from EAV - School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage, in Rio de Janeiro.
Luciana's research activities are focused on a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach to art and modernity in Heidegger. For her post doctoral research, she is particularly interested in the crisis of modernity (as a metaphysical crisis and its possible overcoming in art) through the works of Nietzsche and Artaud; as well as in a transversal perspective on art/performance - as an immediacy of presence - and how this might affect theatre studies.
