Katya Mandoki is a scholar of philosophy, author and experimental artist born in Mexico City (1947) from Hungarian immigrant parents. Mandoki pioneered the systematic research of Everyday Aesthetics coining the term "Prosaics" (1994)〔Mandoki, Katya. 1994. ''Prosaica; introducción a la estética de lo cotidiano'' (México: Grijalbo).〕 for this subfield of Aesthetics. In her book ''Everyday Aesthetics'',〔Mandoki, Katya. 2007. ''Everyday aesthetics: prosaics, the play of culture, and social identities''. (Aldershot: Ashgate) ISBN 978-0-7546-5889-4.〕 the first extended treatment of this subject,〔http://www.autograff.com/berleant/pages/Transformations%20in%20Art%20and%20Aesthetics.11.htm〕 she opens up the study of aesthetics –traditionally confined to art and beauty– to encompass all those aspects involving sensibility in common experience using the human body as a starting point for this analysis.〔Saito, Yuriko. 2008. ''British Journal of Aesthetics''. vol. 48 no. 4: 461–3.〕〔Regelski, Thomas, A. “Response to Philip Alperson, 'Robust Praxialism and the Anti-aesthetic Turn' ” ''Philosophy of Music Education Review'', Vol. 18, No. 2: 196-203. 2010. 198-199.〕 Her work covers not only the positive aspect of aesthetics but also its negative side such as cruelty and abuse upon someone's sensibility, never before thought of in those terms.〔Heyd, Thomas. 1995. "Review of Katya Mandoki, Prosaica: Introducción a la Estética de lo Cotidiano (México: Grijalbo, 1994)" ''British Journal of Aesthetics Newsletter''.〕 She stresses the danger of political manipulation of sensibility illustrated by the propagandistic use of aesthetics specifically during the Nazi regime.〔Mandoki, Katya. 2004. "Terror and aesthetics: Nazi strategies for mass organization" en ''Fascism: Critical Concepts in Political Science''. Vol. III Roger Griffin & Matthew Feldman, (Eds.) – Fascism and Culture. pp. 21–38. (Oxfordshire, UK: Routledge). ISBN 978-0-415-29015-9.〕 From Mandoki's work on the negativity of aesthetics Arnold Berleant takes off to analyze this issue in relation to terrorism.〔http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/25881-sensibility-and-sense-the-aesthetic-transformation-of-the-human-world/〕〔Berleant, Arnold. 2010. ''Sensibility and Sense; The aesthetic transformation of the human world'' (Exeter: Imprint Academic): 172, 185, 191.〕 The subfield of everyday aesthetics is so fertile that it has been followed and enriched by a number of contemporary aestheticians.〔Light, Andrew & Smith, Jonathan M. (eds.) .''The Aesthetics of Everyday Life''. New York: Columbia University Press. 1995.〕〔Saito, Yuriko. ''Everyday Aesthetics'', Oxford University Press, 2008.〕〔Leddy, Tom. ''The Extraordinary in the Ordinary: The Aesthetics of Everyday Life''. Toronto: Broadview Press. 2012.〕〔Carter, Curtis and Liu Yuedi. ''Aesthetics of Everyday Life: East and West''. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. 2014.〕 Mandoki has published eight books on this topic, the most recent presenting and developing the concept of ''bio-aesthetics'' that traces sensibility not only in humans but in the most elemental creatures from an evolutionary perspective.〔Mandoki, Katya. 2013. ''El indispensable exceso de la estética'' (México: Siglo Veintiuno Editores).〕〔Mandoki, Katya. 2013."Zoo–pragmatics: performative acts among animals“ in ''Research Trends in Intercultural Pragmatics''.
