• Resumen

  • Human faces are not usually objects of disgust. However, this can be diffuse if there are some kind of malformations or if they are masks of dead peo-ple. Corpses disgust us not only by reminding us of our mortal condition, but also by their associa-tion with immoral acts. This article proposes to an-alyze the relationship between the bodies and fac-es of corpses and their reaction with physical and moral disgust.
