Rui Cunha Martins
Biography
Rui Cunha Martins is Professor at the University of Coimbra (DHEEAA) and collaborator of several Brazilian institutions, where he carries out research and teaching functions in the area of contemporary studies from a cross-mobilisation of History, Law, Aesthetics and Politics. Among his main areas of study — gradually structured around the problematic of the “contemporary” — are: the question of the aesthetics of change and transitional and memorial modalities; the problematic of the border and the limit in the political and digital horizon; the procedural regimes of evidence, decision, and criticism; and the tension between norm, instinct, and expectation in the context of the intersystemicity of the communicational and legal arenas; lines, therefore, of manifest transdiciplinary confluence. In these areas he has supervised several doctoral, post-doctoral and master’s dissertations.
He is an Integrated Researcher at the Institute of Contemporary History of NOVA University Lisbon, as well as a member of the Ius Gentium Conimbrigae (integrating the respective Board of Directors, coordinating the Luso-Brazilian Academic Relations). He is also a member of the Coordination and Scientific Committee of the Post-Doctoral Course in Democracy and Human Rights at the University of Coimbra.
