Constantino Martins

Constantino Pereira Martins’s academic interests cover an area of research at the intersection of Theology, Political Philosophy, Cinema and Aesthetics. Graduation and Master in Philosophy. Currently PhD student at Nova University of Lisbon with the support of FCT Foundation. His present investigation is focused on Humor and Comedy. The research is building a relation between Cinema and Philosophy, aiming for both theoretical and pragmatic approach. The analysis of Humor seeks to understand its profligacy and founding disruption. Regarding the aesthetic movement, the aim is to build a general theory of genre, in the subversive loop that animates the search for the radicalism and impurity of humour. In the dilemma of identity, between subjectivity and the collective, the cinematic effects will be targeted towards the analysis of Chaplin and Woody Allen.
