The Department of Philosophy (DEFIL/UFRN) is promoting, this Monday, March 2, the conference Notes on Philosophy and Cinema: the place of engagement in films about racism in contemporary American cinema. The event takes place at 7pm, in Auditorium D of the Center for Human Sciences, Letters and Arts (CCHLA/UFRN).
The conference aims to understand the relationship between philosophy and art, based on the hypothesis that philosophy should be understood as art criticism and not as an activity demarcating what would or would not be a work of art.
In this sense, a philosophical debate will be held on how contemporary American cinema has established a dialogue with the theme of racism, in which there is a discussion about whether or not art should be engaged. The speaker present will be professor Érico Andrade, from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), who, in addition to being a teacher, is also a film critic and psychoanalyst, member of the Pernambuco Psychoanalytic Circle.
