Variations on sovereignty and equivalence as metaphysical articulations of humanism».

He is currently projecting this lines toward a research on the forms of sovereignty and government that traverse along the colonial and republican history of Latin America, as an archeology/genealogy of various contemporary phenomena such as State terror and war machines, globalization of capitalism, the flux of migrants and refugees anf the logics of postcoloniality and neocoloniality.
