Pic: Marina Bianco
researcher in Pragmatics at Pompeu Fabra University, co-founder of Lobas Escriben, and facilitator of reading, writing, and discussion labs.
A Mediterranean migrant between Italy and Catalonia, my interests focus on the transformation of contemporary social classes, social mobility and class dislocation, and technofeudalism.
Words are a form of resistance
I believe in wit and collective thinking as small barricades against a world that looks increasingly like a battlefield between recycled (post)colonialisms, asshole bros drunk on power, and a relentless speed that does not even allow us to feel what is happening.
What kind of species are we becoming?
Writing (and thinking together) will not save the world, but it might make it a little more liveable. Or at least more understandable. That is why I write my newsletter, MALA ESPECIE.
