Resumo(s)
The Personification of beauty is a matter that falls within the problematics of contemporary beauty. After an investigation that had its roots in classical Greek times and extends to the present time, we intend to argue that nowadays a form of objectification of beauty is in the world of cosmetic surgery. We can consider the embodiment of beauty as continuous process that comes with the humanization of beauty, accompanied by technological evolution and industrialization that have constantly changed the way of being and judging the world. This dissertation is based on the practical project The Dorian Effect (TDE), a reference to Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, a character who chose to trade his soul to gain eternal youth and beauty – concepts that justify the growing demand of the individual for cosmetic surgery to achieve its ideal of beauty. TDE does not work with the results of surgery, considering the very diverse personal tastes. Concentrates all its attention on the will and narcissism of a personified subject of a stereotype of beauty in his own body. Assumes beauty as a carnal concept, in other words, incarnated. The personification of beauty justifies the relationship and the two senses that the word beauty represents: the beauty/beautiful interested in an end - useful and objective beauty; beauty without interest in an end - the purely aesthetic beauty.
The research is supported by some reflections on the beauty developed over time, including important authors as Plato, Kant, Oscar Wilde, Georg Simmel, Tatarkiewicz, among others
