Pearly whites
Article Abstract:
Brushing teeth and dental hygeine have become national obsessions in South Korea, where many brush after every meal and toothpaste sales have tripled in a decade to $153 million. LG Chemical controls more than 60% of the market, chiefly through a brand that evokes the traditional salt that was used up to the mid-1970s, but at least 30 brands are widely available. Foreign suppliers have only 1% of the market. Koreans have long considered good teeth one of the so-called five blessings.

Chronotope
Article Abstract:
The category of time-space, introduced in the first decade of the 20th century by Albert Einstein, was taken up by the Russian thinker Mikhail Bakhtin as a reference for his concept of chronotope. Time-space and chronotope meet, conceptually and metaphorically, in a common epistemological field that selects as a basic problem the human determination of knowledge, including the debate over the universal and the particular, absolute and relative.
