FELLOW 2024/2025Eduardo Altheman C. Santos
FELLOWSHIP TERM: 06/2024 – 02/2025
I am a post-doctoral fellow in Sociology at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. I hold a Ph.D. (2018) and Master’s (for which I received the Best Master’s in Sociology Award of 2013) in Sociology from the same institution, in addition to a BA in Social Sciences (2010) also from USP.
I have held international affiliations at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main (host: Thomas Lemke) and Duke University (host: Fredric Jameson).
My work has appeared in Re-thinking Marxism, Cultural Dynamics, and Focus on German Studies, in addition to several Brazilian journals, such as Tempo Social, Caderno CRH, Ciências Sociais Unisinos, and Cadernos Metrópole. I am the co-editor of the Fall 2022 issue of Cultural Dynamics, “Neoliberalism in the Americas: Brutal experiments from the Global South.” I am also the co-editor of The Marcusean Mind (Routledge, 2024). In 2023, I received the Marielle Franco Prize from the International Herbert Marcuse Society.
I have also translated books and essays by Max Horkheimer, T. W. Adorno, Wendy Brown, and Thomas Lemke, among others, from German and English into Brazilian Portuguese.
My research interests include the Frankfurt School, critical theory (broadly construed), platform capitalism, Marxism, critical neoliberalism studies, ideology critique, and the work of Michel Foucault and Herbert Marcuse.
