I am an Assistant Researcher at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies (Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares—CEIS20, University of Coimbra), with a research project on Alexandre Kojève's dialectical philosophy and political activity. The broader focus of my work is the relationship between philosophical thinking and critical theory of society in different currents of 20th-century thought. In the past years, I investigated this subject mainly in Adorno, with a comparative attitude that led me, at the same time, to the extensive study of other authors (Wittgenstein, Husserl, Habermas, Croce, Schmitt, and Brazilian contemporary critical theorists). I received my education (Bachelor and Master) from the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore, the best school of excellence in Italy, which I entered in 2005 as the first classified in the admission test to the Class of Humanities. After defending my PhD thesis on Adorno's conception of philosophy at the University of Pisa in 2016, I have been working on research projects aimed at using Adorno's negative dialectic as a key to access the logical structure and historical presuppositions of wider debates in recent philosophy. I was first postdoctoral fellow at the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici in Naples (2016-2017), then I was granted a 5-year research fellowship (2017-2022) and a Visiting Professorship (2023-2024) in the Graduate Program in Philosophy at the University of Brasilia. There, I have been involved in postdoctoral research and teaching, deeply integrating myself into Brazilian academic networks. I have regularly given curricular classes to Master and PhD students as well as short courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have been a member of juries of Master and PhD degrees. Since 2019, I have been part of a journal scientific committee and supervising 3 Master dissertations. My role as a scholar in the field of German critical theory has been recognized through my inclusion into, and cooperation with, important research networks, such as the research groups in critical theory "Grupo de Trabalho em Teoria Crítica" (Brazil) and "Forschungskolleg für Kritische Theorie" (Germany), the Association for Adorno Studies, the "Zetesis" group at the University of Pisa, and the Adorno Seminar at the University of Bologna. At the same time, I have worked closely with such prominent Brazilian critical theorists as Paulo Arantes and Vladimir Safatle and I have been a pioneer in the diffusion of their works through articles, translations, and event organizations, thus becoming a leading reference in the scholarship on Brazilian contemporary critical theory. During my PhD and postdoctoral years, I discussed the results of my research at approximately 40 scientific events in Italy, Brazil, Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Romania, Turkey, and India. I was invited as a lecturer or conference speaker in Brazil, Italy, Germany, and France. I published 19 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals, 9 book chapters, 3 afterwords, 2 book reviews on German, Italian, and Brazilian philosophy in all the languages I am proficient in (Italian, English, Portuguese, German, and French). I have edited and/or translated 5 books and 6 journal articles from German and Portuguese into Italian. Parallel to (and enriched by) my research on Adorno, I reworked my Master dissertation on Wittgenstein and dialectic, which had been awarded the Philosophy Prize "Viaggio a Siracusa", into my first monograph, published in 2020 ("Il problema filosofico in Wittgenstein. Dialettica nel positivismo". Pisa: ETS, 2020). A second monograph project on Adorno is under review by the prestigious Italian publisher Il Mulino, with which I also collaborate as an editor/translator. As an acknowledgment of my research and teaching activity, I was awarded the qualification to the position of Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy by the Italian Ministry of Education in 2021.
