In questo saggio dirompente e suggestivo, l’artista tedesca di origine afghana Moshtari Hilal prosegue in forma scritta – ma anche attraverso disegni e fotografie – la sua indagine sugli aspetti sociali e politici delle categorie estetiche. Secondo Hilal, infatti, la “bruttezza” è un fatto sociale, politico, persino economico, indubbiamente legato alla razzializzazione degli individui. Hilal sostiene che la bruttezza, così come la razza, non sia qualcosa che esista sul piano della realtà, ma piuttosto una categoria politico-economica utile a veicolare l’odio nei confronti di corpi e identità non conformi.

De pequeño, el agudo Marcel se veía en la tesitura de pasear por el camino de Guermantes o por el que discurría delante de la casa de Swann, acepciones que encabezarán sendos libros de la monumental "A la búsqueda del tiempo perdido". Ahora bien, la decisión de elegir uno u otro itinerario no correspondía al chaval, sino a los adultos. El auténtico dilema se producirá durante uno de esos paseos y afectará directamente al niño Proust, por cuanto deberá despejar una disyuntiva. El pequeño rumia si seguir o no un camino muy particular: el de la escritura.
