Title: A estética da violência no pensamento de Theodor Adorno Autor: Leal, Vinicius Rufino Primeiro orientador: Dias, José Francisco de Assis Abstract: This research examines the possibility of defining a concept of the Aesthetics of Violence in the thought of Theodor Adorno. It articulates this concept with the dynamics of fascism, contemporary processes of cultural domination, and devices of subjectivation, through a psychoanalytic reading. The guiding problem is to understand how Adorno conceives the relation between aesthetics and violence — especially under authoritarian regime — and how this relation intersects with art, culture, and politics. Accordingly, the aim is to understand how the aestheticization of violence and the symbolic manipulation of the masses organize the aesthetic-political phenomenon of fascism. The textual organization follows this structure: (i) the first chapter takes Aesthetic Theory as its key concept, reconstructing the dialectic between the autonomy of art and social determination; (ii) the second chapter situates fascism as an aesthetic-political phenomenon that, by means of propaganda, aestheticizes violence and mobilizes the masses, culminating in a cult of the leader and the glorification of force; (iii) the third chapter shows how the Culture Industry, by standardizing cultural processes, blocks processes of autonomy, renders critical imagination unviable, and naturalizes hierarchies. The methodology is grounded in Adorno’s negative dialectics, which seeks to overcome reifications by unveiling immanent contradictions. The research unfolds through conceptual analysis and a critical hermeneutic reading of Adorno’s works —especially Dialectic of Enlightenment, Aesthetic Theory, and Education and Emancipation — and proposes a systematic dialogue with the Freudian corpus to elucidate the psychic and technical dimensions of aestheticization. The results, based on this thematization, suggest that Adorno understood totalitarian regimes to formulate an Aesthetics of Violence, naturalizing it as culture and instrumentalizing it as political propaganda. Moreover, fascism represents the apex of a logic that converts culture into spectacle, thereby obscuring the very possibility of critique. Therefore, aesthetic education should be grounded in critical reflection, oriented toward a process of emancipation and resistance to forms of massification. In this way, the dissertation contributes to the field of critical philosophy by systematizing the concept of an Aesthetics of Violence, highlighting its historical-political relevance, and offering theoretical parameters for analyzing cultural practices that, even today, sustain the perpetuation and dissemination of regimes of symbolic domination.

Title: O fenômeno da morte e o ser-para-a-morte em Ser e Tempo Autor: Carvalho, Amanda Victoria Milke Ferraz de Primeiro orientador: Kahlmeyer-Mertens, Roberto Saraiva Abstract: The theme of this dissertation is delimited around the phenomenological-existential concept of death in Heidegger's existential analytic. This concept belongs to the problematic of Dasein’s being-a-whole in the work Being and Time (1927). Therein, the philosopher focuses on the entity which we ourselves are (Dasein), to understand its mode of being and re-pose the question of the meaning of Being in general by means of a fundamental ontology. The existential analytic, a descriptive-phenomenological investigation of the existentiality of the entity that understands Being, confronts the question regarding the possibility of grasping the whole and the structural totality of this entity, which possesses multiple existential structures. Therefore, how would a unity be sighted from which such an entity could be understood as a whole? As we shall see, the structural unity of existence is obtained in the phenomenon of care: ahead-of-itself-Being-already-in-the-world-as-Being-alongside. In this formulation, all moments of Dasein are announced in unity. However, in resolving the inquiry into the structural whole within the formulation of care, another inquiry emerges: In being-ahead-of-itself, care retains a character of pendency within existing, indicating that existence is a constant constitutive incompleteness in the existent. Can this entity, essentially pending, actually be grasped in its being-a-whole? Since Dasein is that which is ahead-of-itself, it remains an entity that is not yet total, but one that has the potential to be-a-whole. But if it is possible to foresee its structural whole, then this must mean that there is nothing more that it lacks, something which only happens when it is no longer. It would follow from this that the grasping of 'being-a-whole' would then be concomitant with the annihilation of this entity in its 'there' (ecstatic movement), signifying death. Understood thus, it would no longer be possible to grasp being-a-whole, implying the failure of the existential analytic and a fundamental ontology. Nevertheless, Heidegger indicates that the bio-physiological significance of death does not correspond to the existential death of Dasein. The existential possibility of death is properly questioned within the existential analytic. Faced with the problematic of being-a-whole, we must grasp the existential meaning of death, distinguishing it from its ontical-existentiell significations (such as the bio-physiological one). We address this through the question: What is the meaning of death in the existential analytic? The primary objective is to reach the conceptualization of death. As our main hypothesis, we maintain that existence is essentially marked by the possibility of Being-towards-death; this is the existential meaning of death, and existence has the character of finitude. Finitude is not to be confused with bio-physiological death; it concerns the factic limit of the possibilities of being. The methodology employed is exploratory, reconstructive, and theoretical-bibliographical, based on primary, secondary, and tertiary works: Being and Time (in two Portuguese versions), Heidegger’s 1920-1930 corpus, and leading commentators. Moreover, the English version of this abstract follows a terminological comparison between the two primary translations of Being and Time, guaranteeing that the concepts align with both conceptual rigor and the Anglophone academic tradition.

Title: O brotar originário da liberdade: um estudo introdutório em fenomenologia e marxismo em Sartre Autor: Avancini, Nicole Elouise Primeiro orientador: Fontana, Vanessa Furtado Abstract: This research aims to discuss the concept of freedom within Jean Paul Sartre’s philosophy, in a process that moves from his first early writings on Existentialism up to his later studies on Marxism. After a brief biographical overview of the thinker, including historical contextualization, as well as reports on his relevance within the contemporary intellectual sphere, we intend to address, in the first chapter, the main concepts of his first major work, Being and Nothingness (1943), an essay on phenomenological ontology. Such work sets the ground of his popularization as the philosopher of freedom, a concept already dealt with in his literature, as is the case for Nausea (1938). As for the maturity of his writings, after the Second World War, from the 1950s to the 60s, the author becomes familiar with Marxist ideals and activism on the side of the French left wing, an experience which ends up influencing the direction of his new philosophical considerations. Taking grasp of the Marxist terminology, Sartre begins to approach former interests of his from a new perspective, turning toward the theme of human condition or situation in capitalistic societies, with a broad hermeneutics dealing with the intersubjective dimension of social practices and its relation to History. Therefore, in this research, it is aimed to trace the conceptual path of this progression, led by the notion of freedom, which will be explored further within the second and final chapters.

Title: Deleuze e Guattari: modos de existir Autor: Lima, João Vitor Gaudencio de Primeiro orientador: Heuser, Ester Maria Dreher Abstract: This research explores the concept of modes of existence through notions developed by Deleuze and Guattari. Its point of departure lies in experience and thought when they are overturned and forced, thereby giving rise to modes of thinking and feeling that are not properly aligned with certain orthodox and dogmatic notions concerning the functions of thought and bodies in contemporary times. In a second moment, the notions of experience and thought are developed side by side with the concept of schizophrenia, in order to outline a plane of composition for investigating what are considered “normal” and “unusual” ways of thinking and feeling. Modes of existence are addressed more directly in a third moment of the text, in which the notions of thought and experience are coupled so as to question what is capable of forcing thought to create ways of existing. This work is populated by various figures, traversing different fields of experimentation and tracing lines of flight through modernist literature and art, engaging with authors such as Borges and Oiticica, thought within a Deleuzian–Guattarian plane of composition. The conclusion adopts a perspectivist composition that couples the task of repopulating the world with the exercise of creating modes of existence.
