Research Interest
Having worked in the 1990s mainly on the political and cultural problems related to German reunification in the context of European integration, I have been focusing for a decade on the theoretical, philosophical and epistemological foundations of the social sciences, with particular interest for the works of Max Weber and Michel Foucault. In collaboration with my colleague from the Department of Anthropology Mariella Pandolfi, I have also opened a new field of research and reflection on military and humanitarian interventions and the new forms of therapeutic domination that have developed and become more widespread. now through emerging post-liberal governmentality. Finally, since 2014, I am once again interested in East German history as part of Strongly involved in the Canadian Center for German and European Studies since its creation in 1997, I am currently director and also responsible for the transatlantic doctoral school "IRTG Diversity" in collaboration with twenty colleagues from Germany and Montreal.
