The Department of Theater and Cinema - DTC is an academic structure coordinating the scientific areas of Theater and Cinema, and respective curricular units, promoting the articulation between the two courses.
One of the competencies of the DTC is to foster research through the development of individual or group projects whose research focuses on Theater, Cinema, or on the artistic intersection between these two areas, or adjacent areas. These projects also aim to stimulate research among ESAP students.
The DTC has, for the time being, a research project in the area of Cinema to be carried out through the financing of collective research projects, of short duration - ESAP Projects:
The mobilization of intertextuality in the cinematic dialectic (ESAP / 2016 / P28 / DTC)
