    Entre lo siniestro y el terror: un análisis filosófico de “Poor things” desde Trías y Carroll
    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación, 2025-10-28) Ramos Pesantez, Carla Emilia; Vintimilla Jarrín, María Clara; Solano Ortiz, César Augusto
    This research offers a philosophical analysis of the film Poor Things (2023), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, through the aesthetic categories of the beautiful and the uncanny developed by Eugenio Trías, in dialogue with Noël Carroll’s philosophy of horror. The study explores how the film subverts classical ideals of beauty by integrating the grotesque, the chaotic, and the imperfect as central elements of a contemporary aesthetic. The character of Bella Baxter functions as a threshold between the disturbing and the sublime, revealing the aesthetic power of the uncanny. From Carroll’s perspective, the monstrous does not negate meaning but rather transforms it, producing an emotionally ambivalent response that Trías also identifies as essential to beauty. Additionally, the research examines the ethical and moral implications that emerge in the narrative, particularly through transgressive characters such as Wedderburn and Godwin Baxter, whose actions challenge established norms. Thus, this analysis opens a critical dialogue between aesthetics, ethics, and the human condition in contemporary cinema.
