Dental aesthetics, self-awareness, and oral health-related quality of life in young adults.
2004
The aim of the present study was to explore the putative relationship between dental aesthetics and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), taking into consideration the potential direct and moderating influence of private and public self-consciousness. The subjects of this cross-sectional survey were 148 university students. Dental aesthetics were assessed by means of the aesthetic component (AC) of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). OHRQoL was estimated using a modification of the scales 'social appearance concern' and 'appearance disapproval', and a novel dental self-confidence scale. In addition, the private and public self-consciousness scales were used. Two-factor a…
Dall’iperestetica all’anestetica: la negazione dell’umano nella società dell’apparenza
2021
Viviamo nella “società dell’immagine” che ottunde la sensibilità e produce indifferenza. Il saggio mette a fuoco la ricerca ossessiva di una bellezza superficiale e apparente in ogni ambito della vita quotidiana e la conseguente perdita dei valori morali. Per contrastare questa anestetizzazione dovuta all’esasperata tendenza all’eccesso e al superamento dei limiti del giusto, del necessario, del conveniente e del bello, il saggio propone di recuperare l’antica dimensione etico-estetica del bello in linea con alcuni interessi dell’Everyday Aesthetics. We live in the "society of the image" that obtunds sensitivity and produces indifference. The essay focuses on the obsessive search for a shal…
‘Debating “l’esthéticisme” and “l’esthétisme “ in (some) French Periodicals’
2018
Starting with the two competing translations of aestheticism (esthétisme and estheticisme), this article is devoted to retracing the complex reception of the English term in various French journalistic writings between 1880 and 1900. I follow the semantic vicissitudes of the two terms and their cognates, ‘esthète’ and ‘esthétique’, as they circulated in public discourse through the press and magazines. In France, British aestheticism appears at first not to have been strictly differentiated from Pre-Raphaelitism, the latest developments of which were also percolating in the 1870s and 1880s in the sections of specific press and magazines.I pay less attention to the already well-documented re…

Corrección: una cuestión de estilo
2009
This paper is devoted to ask if Aesthetics today can be considered in the way of Baumgarten and Kant or it can be considered like a way to produce truth and truthfulness. Opposite to the ontological truth (aletheia) and the logic truth (homoisosis) the writer, from a point of view of Aesthetics, propose considering also truth like correctness, orthotés in classical Greek and rectitudo in Latin.
Figuration/Figure/Form
2020
It is still Weizsäcker to show that rather than a clear contrast (usually already referring to the names of Plato and Aristotle and to the competition between the concepts of eidos and morphé) it is a necessary correlation and a way through which the fundamental problem of unity of knowledge is placed.

Figuras de la ausencia. Narrativas y estéticas de la desaparición forzada en Chile
2022
En este trabajo se describen algunas de las operaciones de representación a través de las cuales se han generado, a lo largo del tiempo, narrativas y estéticas en torno al impacto de la desaparición forzada en Chile. A partir del análisis de textos poéticos, el artículo describe un paisaje social caracterizado por la presencia de nombres sin cuerpo y de cuerpos sin nombre. Analiza en relación con ello tres tendencias mayores en los intentos de dar forma al impacto de la desaparición, a través de la puesta en relación de imágenes fotográficas, textos literarios, propuestas artísticas y narraciones audiovisuales. En primer lugar, se acerca a aquellas estéticas que hacen de la ausencia del cue…
Reimagining cultural memory of the arctic in the graphic narratives of Oqaluttuaq
2021
The Greenlandic oral story-telling tradition, Oqaluttuaq, meaning “history,” “legend,” and “narrative,” is recognized as an important entry point into Arctic collective memory. The graphic artist Nuka K. Godtfredsen and his literary and scientific collaborators have used the term as the title of graphic narratives published from 2009 to 2018, and focused on four moments or ‘snippets’ from Greenland’s history (from the periods of Saqqaq, late Dorset, Norse settlement, and European colonization). Adopting a fragmentary and episodic approach to historical narrativization, the texts frame the modern European presence in Greenland as one of multiple migrations to and settlements in the Artic, ra…
