SANGUINETTI, Gustavo Cataldo. The Ruins: APoetics of Time. Bol. estét. [online]. 2023, n.62, pp.11-20.  Epub Mar 01, 2023. ISSN 2408-4417.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/be.2023.62.315.

The article explores the aesthetic form of the ruins as a poetics of time where opposing forces are articulated that configure a unique experience of human historicity. Guided by the indications of Martin Heidegger and Georg Simmel, he reflects on the aesthetic-existential value of the ruins and their subjective response in the feeling of nostalgia, as well as their importance for the recognition of the narrative unity of human existence.
