Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação resulta de um percurso de investigação que se situa na confluência entre a ciência cognitiva e a dança contemporânea, articulando a experiência prática do corpo com o pensamento teórico e científico sobre os processos criativos. Partindo de uma perspetiva interdisciplinar e reflexiva, o trabalho busca compreender de que modo os conceitos, métodos e estruturas da cognição podem contribuir para a expansão das capacidades criativas e para o aprofundamento do conhecimento coreográfico.
A dissertação propõe uma abordagem que conjuga a corporeidade da dança com a solidez conceptual da ciência, procurando encontrar coerência e inteligibilidade nas múltiplas variações e ambiguidades próprias do processo criativo. O discurso é mantido num diálogo entre ciência cognitiva, ciências da mente, abordagens fenomenológicas e somáticas, com relação ao movimento e à consciência, essenciais para os processos improvisacionais e outros de natureza generativa em dança contemporânea.
Vários conceitos são analisados de modo a poder conceber um conhecimento integrado, o qual, julgamos, nos permitirá extrair conclusões que sejam úteis para identificar vantagens de interseção destas áreas, através de (i) reconhecer os mecanismos subjacentes à cognição em dança; (ii) utilizar esse conhecimento para o desenvolvimento das capacidades criativas; e (iii) propor ferramentas para a criação de obras coreográficas originais e expressivas, e também de poder contribuir para os estudos da cognição coreográfica em geral.
Abstract - This dissertation results from a research journey situated at the confluence between cognitive science and contemporary dance, articulating the practical experience of the body with theoretical and scientific reflection on creative processes. Adopting an interdisciplinary and reflexive perspective, the work seeks to understand how concepts, methods, and structures of cognition can contribute to the expansion of creative capacities and to the deepening of choreographic knowledge. The dissertation proposes an approach that combines the corporeality of dance with the conceptual solidity of science, aiming to find coherence and intelligibility within the multiple variations and ambiguities inherent to the creative process. The discussion unfolds through a dialogue between cognitive science, the sciences of mind, and phenomenological and somatic approaches related to movement and consciousness—dimensions that are essential to improvisational and other generative processes in contemporary dance. Several key concepts are analyzed in order to construct an integrated body of knowledge which, we believe, allows for the extraction of conclusions useful for identifying the advantages of intersecting these fields. This is pursued through: (i) recognizing the mechanisms underlying cognition in dance; (ii) applying this understanding to the development of creative abilities; and (iii) proposing tools for the creation of original and expressive choreographic works, while also contributing to the broader field of choreographic cognition studies.
