The research projects below are organized between current and previous investigations, bringing together different axes developed since 2008 in the fields of education, technics, media, and contemporary technoculture.
► CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
VII – Archaeology of Educational Epistemes (2020–present)
Research project (articles and book). This project develops an archaeological approach to the history of education based on the notion of “educational epistemes,” understood as historically and materially situated configurations of knowledge, practices, and formative dispositifs. The investigation articulates technê tou biou (arts of living), askêsis (forms of exercise and self-formation), and hypomnemata (technical and material supports of memory), understanding education as a field traversed by practices, techniques, and infrastructures that exceed the strictly school-based sphere. The objective is to propose a comparative reading of the longue durée of Western educational history, placing canonical narratives under tension through attention to formative materialities – architectures, techniques, dispositifs, and regimes of attention. Keywords: History of Education; Archaeology of Dispositifs; Educational Epistemes.
VI – Bernard Stiegler: introduction & philosophy of education (2022–present)
Doctoral dissertation. This research proposes a systematic introduction to the thought of Bernard Stiegler, taking as its central axis his elaboration of a philosophy of education traversed by the question of technics, individuation, and the formation of desire. From an anthropotechnical and pharmacological perspective, the work examines how technical processes modulate the conditions of psychic and collective individuation, thereby reconfiguring contemporary educational environments. The structure of the study articulates three movements: the reconstruction of the philosophical traditions mobilized by Stiegler (Greek, French, and German); analysis of the pharmacological critique of technics; and the explication of its psychagogical and pedagogical implications. Keywords: Bernard Stiegler; Philosophy of Education; Technics; Anthropotechnics; Individuation.
► PREVIOUS RESEARCH PROJECTS
V – Software, Networks, and Classes: Chun, Galloway, Wark (2020–2023)
Research project, translations, and course program. Investigation of three fundamental axes of the contemporary critique of digital culture – software, networks, and class – through authors who articulate materialism, media theory, and critique of informational capitalism. The project involved translation, systematic reading, and pedagogical experimentation, aiming to problematize the technical and social modes of organization of digital infrastructures. Outputs: translations, essays, and an experimental course.
V – Technopolitics and Digital Temporalities (2016–2021)
Essays and Articles. Research on contemporary technocultural transformations with emphasis on temporality, platformization, and regimes of attention. The theoretical axis articulates phenomenology, post-structuralism, and materialism of technics in order to analyze reconfigurations of forms of experience in digital environments. Main outputs: essays on acceleration, digital platforms, digital games, and technopolitical critique.
III – Harun Farocki: pensador e operador de mídias (2011–2018)
Thesis, book, and articles.. Study of the work of Harun Farocki as a field of audiovisual thought in which cinema, archive, and montage function as dispositifs for analyzing technical materialities and contemporary forms of perception. The research proposes the notion of “media operator” to describe the articulation between aesthetics, politics, and montage techniques in the author’s work.
II – Technoculture and Post-Structuralism (2010–2016)
Articles. Investigation of transformations in contemporary social thought through post-structuralist, phenomenological, and Marxist authors, with emphasis on the notion of dispositif and on the reconfiguration of forms of subjectivity. Two principal axes: theoretical cartographies of the notions of technics in Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Giorgio Agamben, Bernard Stiegler, and others; and empirical studies on cognition, politics, and digital platforms.
I – Technoculture and Modernity (2008–2015)
Articles. First stage of investigation dedicated to the relations between technics, modernity, and social theory, with emphasis on philosophical genealogies of technology. The studies articulate Martin Heidegger, Gilbert Simondon, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Critical Theory, examining the conceptual foundations of contemporary forms of technical mediation. Outputs include articles on technics, politics, subjectivity, and culture.
