Estética natural e ética ambiental, que relação?

This paper defends that environmental aesthetics provides a consistent basis for environmental philosophy, whereas aesthetic value plays an important role in the defense and preservation of natural areas. For several environmental philosophers the natural beauty is an inherent part of the ethical concern. Leopold states that “a thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, the balance and the beauty of the biotic community”. Notwithstanding, aesthetic value is still not a central issue in the environmental debate. On the other hand, the “positive aesthetics” (Allen Carlson), which is a recent approach that reevaluates “positively” natural beauty in the ethical context, obtains a core of objections. This paper sketches a few arguments defending the contiguity between environmental aesthetics and environmental ethics: (i) the emotional perception of inclusiveness and engagement on the aesthetics appreciation of nature; (ii) the feelings of grace and love toward nature inherent to the nature’s aesthetic appreciation which according Kant announces the moral feeling; (iii) the ecological knowledge of natural beauty in order to understand the full meaning of it, and that includes some natural entities seen as not beautiful.

Protocolo de fotografias odontológicas na comunicação entre CD e TPD em restaurações indiretas

O planejamento estético em dentes anteriores está intimamente ligado a uma cuidadosa análise das desarmonias do sorriso do paciente. Dentro desse conceito, a fotografia odontológica, feita através de um protocolo padronizado, parece ser um auxílio-diagnóstico para uma correta verificação desses problemas. Através dessa ferramenta, é possível realizar tratamentos personalizados, obtendo, assim, uma estética natural e harmoniosa.

Del viajero al turista: estética y política del paisaje urbano

El propósito de este ensayo es promover reflexiones sobre el paisaje urbano que vayan más allá del concepto de paisaje natural y de la noción de paisaje como objeto de representación pictórica. Gracias a una excursión inicial por la estética de la impureza propuesta por Mathieu Kessler, se describen los modos de ser del viajero y del turista: dos de los posibles enfoques perceptivos del paisaje que implican, cada uno a su manera, una particular disposición para la felicidad en el espacio geográfico. Semejante descripción ético-estética se amplia para recorrer, en sus complicidades, tensiones y paradojas, el modo de ser “citadino” o “ciudadano” de quien transita la ciudad contemporánea. Se defiende así la idea de que el exceso de ciudad que constituye ontológicamente la urbe contemporánea es en parte compensado —felicidad en la infelicidad— con la disposición ético-estética del transeúnte urbano.-----The aim of this essay is to promote thought on urban landscapes that go further than the concept of natural landscapes and than the notion of a landscape as an object of pictorial representation. Thanks to an initial digression of the esthetics of impurity proposed by Mathieu Kessler, the traveler’s and tourist’s way of being are described: two of the possible landscape’s perceptive focuses that imply, each in their own way, a particular disposition towards joy in the geographical area. Such ethical-esthetic description is widened to cover, the “urban city dweller” or the “citizen’s” ways of being and transiting the contemporary city within its complicities, pressures and paradoxes; thus defending the idea that the excess city which ontologically constitutes the contemporary metropolis is in part compensated –happiness in unhappiness– with the ethical-esthetic disposition of the temporary urban resident.

Árboles redondos, cabezas cuadradas: normativa, patrimonialización y estética en la ciudad de Quito

Los árboles que habitan nuestra ciudad reflejan buena parte de lo que somos. Su presencia, ausencia y disposición nos habla de cómo concebimos, valoramos y utilizamos el espacio en que vivimos y de la manera en que nos relacionamos con la estética y la naturaleza. Al observarlos por la ciudad, encontramos que muchos de ellos reflejan una cultura que privilegia la homogenización, el orden militar y la estética de consumo. Esta tesis investiga la relación del municipio de Quito -y otras entidades estatales- con el arbolado urbano. A partir de esto se perfila cómo la manera de dirigirnos a los árboles refleja y construye algunas de las apreciaciones culturales y estéticas de la ciudad de Quito. El presente trabajo comprende una investigación de base sobre las normativas y políticas públicas en torno al arbolado urbano de Quito, un vistazo al patrimonio natural-cultural que estamos construyendo, y un análisis visual y estético acerca del lugar que ocupa el árbol dentro de la ciudad y los ciudadanos.

CORPOREIDADE E A MELODIA DA EXPERIÊNCIA ESTÉTICA NA FORMAÇÃO HUMANESCENTE DE CANTORES-EDUCADORES

In order for this study to be developed, the central goal on our investigation was defined as analyzing and interpreting the aesthetical experiences meanings lived by singers-educators in the human formation. The interest for the aesthetical experience theme was built from my own experience for the last twelve years as a member of the School of Music Madrigal, the oldest group in the State Federal University, created for research and cultural extension with structural perspective which brings closer teachers, students and the outer community that comes from different social realities to face the challenge of combining the ability of singing, the corporeity involvement and the aesthetical experiences meanings. This paper points out the understanding of art as perceptive expression of human emotions, such as the creation of existential demand, the restructuring of oneself and the constructions which shape beauty. We seek a dense contribution of new challenges to the peculiar demand of human potential in terms of sensibility repertoire, of involvement, of expectation in magnifying the possibilities and the human and social competences. In the formation human process, we find a living field blooming with natural artistical possibilities, experimenting emotions and feelings shared in collective life, and bringing out impulses to unexpected ludic creation, establishing a powerful aesthetical ambience which highlights the symbolic and imaginary with the deepening of rich ludopoiese properties in several meanings. From the guiding principles of etnophenomenology we find structural and indispensable perspectives which contemplate values, desires, archtype images and ideas that impress originality and fertility to the study. On this path we understand the abundance of living moments of intense commitment, acquaintance, challenges, reunions and connections that stand out from fundamental aspects to freedom, autonomy, creativity and new discontinuities. This acknowledgement brings us closer to the enlighted fullness which makes us humans

Estética em sistema metal free associado a núcleos metalocerâmicos personalisados

The evolution of ceramic systems currently allows the manufacture of prosthesis similar to the natural teeth, meeting the expectations of patients. However, when using vitreous ceramic the color of substrate is significant for the esthetic result, requiring planning aesthetic cores when involved reconstruction of endodontically treated teeth without coronal structure. Thus, the aim of this study to describe a case report of aesthetic rehabilitation in upper anterior teeths using vitreous ceramic system for the reconstruction of elements: 11, 12, 21 and 22 after endodontically treated. It was emphasized the removal of crowns and manufacture of custom cast post and core with ceramic in coronal portion, prioritizing the aesthetic result. Through the clinical results observed can be seen that the use of custom cast post and core with ceramic in association lithium disilicate glass ceramics provided a satisfactory aesthetic result.
