Pedro Henrique Cardoso Bertolino

Undergraduate student in Portuguese/Greek Language and Literature at the School of Philosophy, Languages and Literature, and Human Sciences (FFLCH) of the University of São Paulo. Throughout my studies, I have focused on Classical Studies, with an emphasis on Greek tragedy and ancient philosophy. These interests led to a Scientific Initiation research project entitled "Pleasure in pain: the economy of affects between Euripides Heracles and Platos Republic", supervised by Prof. Dr. Christian Werner. The project proposed a new reading of the final scenes of Euripides Heracles, based on the aesthetic-philosophical reflections found in Book X of Platos Republic. Since then, I have been deepening my research on Greek tragedy and its literary and philosophical reception in modernity. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
