В статті здійснюється спроба історичного та концептуального аналізу трансформації естетичної категорії потворного в поняття безформного та мерзенного, яка відображає загальне перетворення естетичного дискурсу та його перехід у постнекласичну добу. Поняття безформного розглядається в контексті концепції низького матеріалізму Ж. Батая. Поняття мерзенного (та ницості) досліджується крізь призму ідеї Ю. Крістєвої та Р. Краусс на прикладі творчості С. Шерман та В. Ралко. Лінія трансформації класичної естетичної категорії надає можливість вибудовування нового етапу розвитку вітчизняної естетичної думки на основі синтезу «мерзенного» та феміністичного мистецтва.

The significance of temperamental traits for quality of life in the situation of the patients is marginal.
