Aesthetics of everyday life and care

The line of research on the "Aesthetics of the everyday and of care" proposes a revision of the history of Aesthetics, broadening its object of study beyond art. By addressing issues less explored by this discipline, this perspective allows us to open a dialogue with other disciplines such as ethics and design. In this way, reflection is broadened towards aesthetic aspects present in daily life and their impact on human experience. Based on Yuriko Saito's thinking, this line investigates how the aesthetic elements that surround us daily influence our experiences, decisions and relationships.

Can we make better choices if we are more aware of how the aesthetic shapes our lives? Another major focus of this line is the aesthetics of care, which explores how the relationship with objects, spaces, and people can enrich our aesthetic experience. In the context of care-whether domestic or professional-attention to aesthetic details can transform a practical act into a meaningful and dignifying experience. This reflection includes consideration of how thoughtfully designed spaces can promote serenity and respect for others, underscoring the importance of the aesthetic in everyday life. How can aesthetic details turn the ordinary into something full of meaning and dignity? At summary, this research proposes concrete applications of aesthetics in everyday life, delving into how greater attention to the aesthetic can transform not only well-being staff, but also our daily practices of care. How can we incorporate this perspective into our spaces and actions to enrich our experience of life?
