Resumen

El concepto de dialéctica, arraigado en la filosofía, se ha extendido a diversos ámbitos, desde la política hasta el arte. En esta segunda parte del artículo, sostengo que las obras de arte visual más impactantes —que abarcan la pintura, el cine y la arquitectura— derivan su fuerza estética y emocional de la interacción de elementos opuestos. Así como la dialéctica sustenta el equilibrio dinámico del mundo físico, también constituye la base de la expresión artística, donde los contrastes —luz y sombra, movimiento y quietud, orden y caos— coexisten para generar resonancia con la mente humana. Mediante la recopilación de diversos ejemplos y la incorporación de ideas de una amplia gama de fuentes académicas y no académicas, propongo que la manera en que las contradicciones se entrelazan en una obra de arte es el factor determinante de su efecto cautivador. De este modo, este análisis subraya cómo el gran arte no solo refleja la estructura dialéctica de la realidad, sino que también guía a su espectador hacia un modo de percepción más amplio e integrador.

Vuk Uskokovic, San Diego State University

Vuk Uskoković, PhD, MSc, MS, BSc, is a Serbian-Slovenian-American scientist, educator and multimedia artist, currently the Cofounder and Chief Scientific Officer at TardigradeNano LLC, a zero-profit biotech startup, think tank and educational and social advocacy powerhouse, all under one hat, located in Irvine, California; an adjunct professor of chemistry at Fullerton College; a lecturer in engineering at San Diego State University; and a visiting professor of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies at University of Montenegro. Dr. Uskoković holds degrees in chemical physics (BSc & MS), materials science and engineering (MSc), and nanoscience and nanotechnologies (PhD), and has completed postdoctoral trainings in colloid chemistry, fine particle synthesis, biomimetics, tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery. Prior to his current appointments, he was a professor in the schools of engineering, pharmacy and medicine at the University of California in Irvine, Chapman University and University of Illinois in Chicago, respectively, where he ran research labs and taught a variety of subjects, including biomaterials, nanophysics, medical devices, biologics, bio-optics, and other. He was also a principal investigator and a research scientist at University of California in San Francisco (UCSF), Clarkson University in New York, Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia, and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Dr. Uskoković’s research, which resulted in over 240 authored publications, provided major contributions to the scientific understanding of a number of critical phenomena from physical and biological sciences. Many of Dr. Uskoković’s discoveries have originated from the enthusiasm to address the pressing medical needs of humanity, particularly in the domains of targeted drug delivery, hard tissue engineering, and next-generation antimicrobial and anticancer therapies. Dr. Uskoković is the recipient of the prestigious Pathway to Independence Award from the National Institutes of Health and has been a prolific author of research papers, reviews and essays throughout his decades-long scientific career. An ardent advocate of academic and social justice, he was the president of the UCSF postdoctoral association, the largest in America, and of the UC Council of Postdoctoral Scholars, representing around 10,000 postdocs from all Californian universities. In 2010s, he established himself as America’s number one expert in science of hydroxyapatite and other calcium phosphates. He is the founder of the field of astromimetics and the first person to have created a nanoparticle modeled after a celestial body. A true renaissance scientist, Dr. Uskoković has also been a lifelong supporter of the union between natural sciences, arts and humanities. A quintessential contribution to this interdisciplinary venture came through his pioneering work on treating scientific paper as a medium for combined displays of analytical rigor, scientific novelty, humanistic values and artistic expression.
