Trained and experienced as an academic philosopher, specialized in the philosophy of Spinoza and of the 17th century, I am an independent researcher in philosophy and in the arts based in Paris. As a researcher, as a writer and as an artistic director in performance and theatre, I work closely with academic methodology and its high standards, deliberately on an independent basis to value and benefit from multidisciplinary and multifocal approaches. Thanks to my professional activities committed to showcase the resources of philosophy and performance for our contemporary times, I have developed over the years a close relationship with academic and cultural institutions in various countries as shown in my curriculum vitae. First, throughout my doctoral and post-doctoral years, I have worked within the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Harvard University and the Sorbonne. During those years, I acquired research and teaching experience in Lille University, Grenoble University and Paris Institute of Politics. Afterwards, as an independent worker for the arts and a philosophy researcher, I worked with various academic institutions in Europe, the United States and South America, among which philosophy departments of many universities and researches institutions in France, such as Sorbonne-Université and the Institut Jean Nicod, the philosophy departments of New York University, Columbia University, The New School for Social Research, Princeton University, the Centre for the Study of the Senses at London University, the philosophy departments of the Freie Universität, Humboldt-Universität, Bonn Universität, Goethe Universität in Frankfurt am Main, the philosophy department of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. Cultural institutions I have been collaborating with include the Institut Français, the Goethe-Institut, the Italian Institute, EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture), UNESCO. Artistic institutions include Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki (Finland), the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Gent (Belgium), the Frick Collection in New York. My writings include several academic articles and classical as well as more contemporary studies, and philosophical essays published by Flammarion, Gallimard, Albin-Michel and the Grasset for the up-coming one I am currently writing on Spinoza and Europe. This last project provides the opportunity for my application for a Visiting Researcher Fellowship to carry out my research activities with the University of Bologna Department of Philosophy and Communication Studies, within the Research Centre Sive Natura.
