Personal bio
I'm interested in Latin American aesthetics' potential for expanding the onto-epistemological breadth of other fields of knowledge; some of the intersections that I've explored so far include: media theory, philosophy of technology, and science fiction; motion graphics and aesthetic computing; plastic art and philosophy of art; postmodern novels and theories of individuation; Amerindian thought, contemporary metaphysics, and short fiction; feminist philosophy and perspectival anthropology; poetry, gender identity laws, and LGBTQ+ approaches to the gender/sex dyad. I've also worked on the relationship between extractivism and aesthetics in Portugal and Brazil; in particular, I've looked at the tension between gemstones' chemical composition, their historical aestheticization, and the forced and exploitative labor inherent in their geological extraction. I'm the Coordinator of the DIF Project "Queer Latin American Voices" (with Alberto Quintero) and the France-Stanford Collaborative Research Project "The Multiplicity Turn: Theories of Identity from Poetry to Mathematics" (with Marisa Galvez and Gabriel Catren).
