Beauty and its refusal are not merely a cipher of contemporaneity but a topic discussed since antiquity. The rivalry between lyre and flute, between harmony, mathematically determinable, and melody, gatherable only by hearing, arises from the myth, from the fight between Apollo and Marsia, where Greece and Phrygia, Europe and Asia are opposed in a civilisations collision. In modernity this collision arose again as political, whereas the egalitarian melody is opposed to the elitist harmony. Into this collision we find fine arts, not beauty anymore: fine arts leave the territory of beaux arts of fine poetry but remain, for contemporaneity, works of art. But what do arts, not beauty anymore, or even ugly, want? Which aim do they pursue? How can we judge them?

The so-called ‘neuro-psychological approach’ to aesthetics studies aesthetic perception and evaluation in neural, psychological, and social terms. All the empirical results recently collected by this approach are in line with the notion of ‘hermeneutic circle’. In particular, they suggest that aesthetic perception involves a special and original integration and coordination of low-level and high-level processing dynamics, top-down control and bottom-up construction of stimuli, and immediate and extensive evaluative processes.

In the twenties the playwright and stage director Marco Praga became a dramatic critic on the “Illustrazione italiana”. In his incisive production an interesting section is devoted to Tatiana Pavlova, a Russian actress who started performing in Italy in 1923, and gradually introduced a new concept of acting and show.Referring to reviews and pictures, this article investigates two different points of view about theatre, the relationship between text and stage, performance and further components of the show.

In this article we expose the Euclidean theory of vision and, in particular, those theorems that deal with prospective representation. Our aim is to show how the central perspective was known in the Hellenistic era both from a theoretical and practical point of view as evidenced by the analysis of some imperial period frescoes found in Rome. In the second part of this article we look at the Euclidean perspective theorems, using the Cartesian coordinates and the limit idea.

In the absence of coexisting immunocompromised state and lack of specific symptoms a reactivation of treated mycobacterial tuberculosis (MTB) infection is generally not considered in the differential diagnosis of leg pain. We present a unique case of disseminated tuberculosis presenting as an infected Baker's cyst in a 73-year-old immunocompetent male.

Architecture of ancient Egypt is criss-crossed by a series of giant projects whose aim was to celebrate the divine nature of the Pharaohs and their rights to eternal afterlife. In many of such projects a complex interplay between idealization of symbols in hieroglyph writings and shaping of built objects and cultural landscapes can be seen. Since the afterlife destination of the Pharaohs was in the sky, astronomy plays a relevant role in understanding this interplay, as it occurs, in particular, in the Khufu project at Giza and in the planning of Akhenaten’s capital at Amarna.

Criticizing linguistic idealism, Merleau-Ponty conceives the linguistic domaine through the prism of speech. The paper analyses the way in which Merleau-Ponty, in his courses concerning literature in the first half of the fifties, raises the issue of the emergence of ideality through the linguistic act, and what he proposes, in dialogue with Paul Val e ry, to settle it.
