Luciana da Costa Dias
Prof. Dr. Luciana Da Costa Dias holds a split PhD in Philosophy from UERJ (State University of Rio de Janeiro) and Albert-Ludwigs-Universität (Uni-Freiburg). She was a Visiting Research Fellow at Centre for Performance Philosophy (2017/2018) - University of Surrey, UK, during her sabbatical year. She is core founder of the Performing Arts 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: Studies in Philosophy and Performance” since 2014 and a core convener of Performance Philosophy network. Luciana’s research activities are focused on a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach to art and modernity. She is particularly interested in the crisis of modernity (as a metaphysical crisis and its possible overcoming through art) through the works of Heidegger, Nietzsche and Artaud.

Edited by Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca, Alice Lagaay
The Routledge Companion to Performance Philosophy is a volume of especially commissioned critical essays, conversations, collaborative, creative and performative writing mapping the key contexts, debates, methods, discourses and practices in this developing field.
Firstly, the collection offers new insights on the fundamental question of how thinking happens: where, when, how and by whom philosophy is performed. Secondly, it provides a plurality of new accounts of performance and performativity as the production of ideas, bodies and knowledges in the arts and beyond. Comprising texts written by international artists, philosophers and scholars from multiple disciplines, the essays engage with questions of how performance thinks and how thought is performed in a wide range of philosophies and performances, from the ancient to the contemporary. Concepts and practices from diverse geographical regions and cultural traditions are analysed to draw conclusions about how performance operates across art, philosophy and everyday life.
The collection both contributes to and critiques the philosophy of music, dance, theatre and performance, exploring the idea of a philosophy from the arts. It is crucial reading material for those interested in the hierarchy of the relationship between philosophy and the arts, advancing debates on philosophical method, and the relation between Performance and Philosophy more broadly.

Nesta comunicação, intitulada “Arte e história do ser: a conferência A Origem da Obra de Arte e algumas considerações sobre o caminho do pensamento de Heidegger”, pretendo destacar o papel fundamental que a abordagem da questão da arte detém para a chamada virada (Kehre) e
o caminho do pensamento de Martin Heidegger para além da analítica
existencial e em direção à construção da chamada “história do ser” e à
questão do acabamento da metafísica como niilismo, desenvolvida em
seus últimos escritos.
