HA101 - ECTS This course is intended to provide students of various courses of FBAUP a common area of reflection on art, as part of cultural systems that have been changing over time and which differ in the various civilizations that originated them. Thus, the course’s program will be structured around major themes, which can raise the confrontation and dialogue among students with very different experiences and motivations. The course covers the historical period of the Medieval period, which gave rise to wonderful artistic productions that played a key role in the development of Western consciousness. The approach will be both historical and thematic, aiming to give students the analytical tools fundamental to the study and appreciation of Medieval art, both in its original socio-historical context, and on their importance and universal significance.
The aim is to stimulate interest in reading of contemporary texts, studies and essays, and develop the capacity to understand the images, providing students with tools to observe and interpret the art object. The confrontation with artworks, themes and issues essential to the history of art will enable each student to weave its own basis for reflection.
Based on major artworks, and other lesser-known examples of the history of Western art, we will attempt to provide students with a common critical language, giving special emphasis to the historical and cultural context and to formal analysis, so as to allow the understanding of some contemporary artistic practices.
The acquisition of a technical vocabulary, of concepts and basic knowledge essential to the study of art history is considered of prime importance, as well as the development of critical thinking and of visual perception skills to analyze the artwork as an artistic aesthetic and historical object.

T500 - ECTS

Introducing students to the basic concepts of typography: its history; the drawing of calligraphic letters; the design, use and classification of typefaces.

DSG200 - ECTS From word to page and to author’s edition: typography, just like the history of books, reveals that ortho-micro-typography (deals with the idiom, grammar, punctuation, syntax, letter, font metrics, colour of the text, readability, etc.) has been adapting to the linguistic evolution. The book is a very complex printed object, since its making may reflect many different types of knowledge. This means that the organization and the edition of a book may imply different and specialised processes, that range from the literary creation, the definition of typographic family, page architecture, the conception of images, proof reading and the study of papers, to bookbinding and printing. Mastering the basic principles of typographic composition will allow the students to acquire conceptual, visual and technical skills in order to improve both pagination, and editorial graphics.

E201 - ECTS Fornecer os instrumentos conceptuais capazes de potenciar o exercício de uma reflexão crítica e informada que tenha como objecto primeiro a criação e recepção das obras de arte. O contacto com um percurso temático historicamente orientado —o qual percorre o pensamento de alguns dos principais agentes da reflexão estética do passado e da contemporaneidade— deverá potenciar a autonomia crítica e a interiorização da intrínseca interdependência entre a dimensão de produção e recepção artísticas e o discurso conceptual; e, de um modo mais lato, a intrínseca interdependência entre as representações de mundo privilegiadas por uma dada época, cultura ou artista, e o modo como a arte é pensada, produzida e experienciada. Neste sentido, pensar a arte será, antes do mais, entendido como uma investigação sobre o próprio pensamento, isto é, sobre os instrumentos culturais de representação do real.

Procuraremos identificar qual a especificidade das linguagens de representação artísticas face a outras formas de pensar e experienciar o mundo. Genericamente, o problema da Representação colocar-se-á segundo uma dupla dimensão:
1) Qual a representação de mundo privilegiada por uma dada época, cultura ou indivíduo? Isto é, de forma simplificada, qual a resposta fornecida à questão o que é o mundo?; ou ainda, qual o modo privilegiado de representar o mundo?
2) Qual a representação de arte privilegiada por uma da época, cultura ou indivíduo? Isto é, de forma simplificada, qual a resposta fornecida à questão o que é a arte?
Se normalmente é em função de uma resposta, pelo menos implícita, à questão o que é o mundo? que se define a resposta à questão o que é a arte?, também é possível pensar que em algumas épocas, práticas ou pensadores é em função da segunda que se define a primeira. É disto exemplo o modo como a representação de mundo produzida pela arte num determinado período histórico-cultural condiciona activamente a própria transformação do mundo —estejam ou não os agentes conscientes disso.
Parece-nos possível pensar a história da arte e a história da estética, enquanto reflexão temática, como resultado de um processo de interacção entre uma —múltipla— representação de mundo e uma —igualmente múltipla— representação de arte. Esta interacção desenvolve-se em duas vertentes principais:
a) — A da adequação —ou inadequação— da representação artística a uma subjacente, mas nem sempre consciente representação de mundo. Segundo esta concepção, a arte imita a vida. É este o óbice maior à noção de representação mimética, que durante largo tempo estruturou e condicionou a arte ocidental: tratar-se-ia sempre de uma representação de segundo grau, isto é, da representação de uma representação.
b) — A adequação do mundo a uma determinada representação artística de mundo — isto é, o desejo de fazer do mundo uma obra de arte. Este é o desejo que animou ao longo, pelo menos, do último século, as vanguardas artísticas socialmente comprometidas. Segundo este modelo, que é o da modernidade, não é a arte que imita a vida, é a vida que imita a arte. No entanto, a pretensão várias vezes formulada de adequar o mundo a uma representação ideal inspirou algumas das mais terríveis experiências políticas do século XX.
Isto torna claro o carácter extremamente problemático da relação entre arte e realidade, adquirindo um papel central a noção de representação: é a partir dela que um e outro conceito se definem. Torna-se, por isso, pertinente interrogar a arte a partir da noção de representação, segundo as variáveis acima referidas. O equacionar destas variáveis permitirá uma focalização das nossas análises, desenhando um percurso dirigido, tendente a proporcionar uma compreensão da arte enquanto fenómeno cultural histórica e culturalmente situado.

E202 - ECTS 1- Fornecer os instrumentos conceptuais capazes de potenciar o exercício de uma reflexão crítica e informada que tenha como objecto primeiro a criação e recepção das obras de arte. O contacto com um percurso temático historicamente orientado —o qual que percorre o pensamento de alguns dos principais agentes da reflexão estética do passado e da contemporaneidade— deverá potenciar a autonomia crítica e a interiorização da intrínseca interdependência entre a dimensão de produção e recepção artísticas e o discurso conceptual; e, de um modo mais lato, a intrínseca interdependência entre as representações de mundo privilegiadas por uma dada época, cultura ou artista, e o modo como a arte é pensada, produzida e experienciada. Neste sentido, pensar a arte será, antes do mais, entendido como uma investigação sobre o próprio pensamento, isto é, sobre os instrumentos culturais de representação do real.

2- A Estética entre o logos e o figural:
O processo de interiorização pela arte da sua própria reflexão conceptual traduz um devir-conceito da prática artística que corresponde, em certa medida, a um movimento de emancipação da arte face à subordinação conceptual que lhe fora historicamente imposta pela filosofia, religião ou pela política. Há, no entanto, um perigo que ameaça a produção artística: o perigo de, em nome de um processo de emancipação de ordem conceptual, se subordinar, de facto, aos termos colocados pela representação lógico-verbal. O processo de devir-conceito da produção artística pode acarretar com ele a perda de especificidade da própria arte, reconduzida por si mesma ao âmbito de uma representação de mundo que é de ordem verbal, e esquecendo aquilo que constitui a sua especificidade face aos outros domínios da experiência. Isto é, reconduzir o figural ao logocentrismo da razão ocidental.
Em face disto, a questão genérica que se nos coloca e que orienta este programa é a de saber como pensar a imagem, ou a representação de ordem figural, fora dos quadros definidos pelo modelo lógico-verbal de representação. Ou, pelo menos, saber como pensar a articulação da representação figural com a representação verbal, sem que isso signifique uma subordinação ao modelo logocêntrico. Esta é uma busca pela especificidade linguística da prática artística; mas é também uma oportunidade de tomarmos consciência de que o modo como vivemos, pensamos, e representamos o mundo é sempre função da linguagem com esse mundo é representado: a complexificação e o enriquecimento das linguagens conduzem a uma complexificação e enriquecimento do próprio mundo.
Este programa é uma tentativa de —através de alguns dos seus mais relevantes pensadores— acompanhar a transformação da noção de mundo e da noção de arte ao longo do século XX. De Walter Benjamin a Arthur C. Danto, de Theodor Adorno a Jean-François Lyotard e Jacques Derrida , este é o percurso de um século: desde as revolucionárias primeiras décadas até à institucionalização da revolução como estrutura de inserção da arte na história; desde a crença nas possibilidades transformadoras da arte —ao serviço de uma representação moderna de homem e de mundo— ao questionamento crítico do próprio projecto moderno. A transformação acelerada do modo como o mundo é vivido e representado exige o questionamento crítico da noção e práticas artísticas. Um mundo que se transforma exige e implica por parte dos seus agentes uma permanente reformulação crítica da sua prática.
