About

After studying at the the University Paris IV-La Sorbonne, I wrote a ‘Doctorat d'État' at the University Paris 8 under the supervision of Gilles Deleuze (1987), who prefaced the publication (Les Temps Capitaux, 1991 / Capital Times, 1996) . I taught at the Universities and Schools of Fine Arts of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Vienna (Akbild), Karlsruhe (HFG) and Goldsmiths (London), before joining the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) at Middlesex University in 2004 as Senior Research Fellow, then Professor of Contemporary French Philosophy (2007). I moved to take up a professorship at the University of Paris 8 in January 2011, shortly after the CRMEP moved to Kingston.  I hold a fractional position in the CRMEP and teach Philosophy at Kingston University in the second semesters as part of the agreement between Paris 8 and KU concerning their joint  MA in Contemporary European Philosophy. From 2000 to 2007, I was an editor of the journal Multitudes.

Research

I'm currently working on two research projects. The first includes the publication Défaire l'image. De l'art contemporain (2013)/Undoing the Image (English translation forthcoming in 5 volumes, 2017-2020 ) and is focused on a critique of 'aesthetics' from the perspective of a diagrammatic regime of contemporary art. It will be followed by a book on Pop Art as an historical standpoint from which critically to reexamine the current ‘turn to the image' in aesthetics. The second,in collaboration with Maurizio Lazzarato, doubles the counter-history of capitalism proposed in our Guerres et Capital (2016)/Wars and Capital (forthcoming, 2017) with a political reflexion about the question of revolution after 1968:  Wars and Revolution (due to be published in French at the end of 2018).
