My research is devoted to understanding the structural changes to public discourses sparked by technological innovation and how we study it. Influenced by the philosophy of Foucault, Latour, Deleuze & Guattari, and Laclau & Mouffe, my work has developed around two central axes: (i) the study of political communication, decentralized media and their relation with politics; and (ii) meta-research. In both cases, my methodological approach is rooted in computational social science, leveraging SNA and NLP to model discourse and the interactions between socio-political actors.
Access public sphere projects
In dialogue with literatures on digital media research, political communication, far-right politics, polarization, and disinformation, my work on this topic is aimed to understanding the evolution and structure of public discourses after the introduction of the internet.
Access meta-research and literature mapping projects
I am interested in mapping and create interactive visualisations of academic literatures using bibliometrics and NLP. The main goal is to understand how we study topics related to politics and communication, visualising both the structure of academic fields, their core contributions, along with gaps in research.
