Following, I present a list of themes I have followed

throughout my career as a researcher -

a list of articles I have published,

classes I have taught,

lectures I have presented,

and projects I have coordinated.

​

Some methods of thinking interest me more than others.

I seek for a nomadic way of seeing the world,

searching for wild zones of encounters,

temporary affirmations, and a longlasting enchantment

with linguistic and political abysses.

​

I enjoy making fun of language and culture,

because I know their potency as a virus.

​

These concepts, traces, clues,

and maps of knowledge,

currently, sparkle my

generous curiosity:

​

- Experimental artistic processes

- Poetical/Political encounters with art

- Anti-capitalism + anti-coloniality + anti-fascism

- Markets of essential identities, and post-identity studies

- Nomadic thinking

- Linguistic zones of confrontation

- Systems of thought as systems of oppression

- The erotic scam

- The normalization of gender and sex fables

- Togetherness, and ethics for co-existence

- Compulsory work, and class oppression

- Power, language, and culture
