Phenomenology

My phenomenological research asks how the most extreme experiences of human life, such as war, rape, death, etc., are actually lived, before they are theorised. I work chiefly on Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Alfred Schutz, examining such concepts as intersubjectivity or being-with, the figure of the Other, being-towards-death, embodiment, and so on. At the moment, I am developing my individual study on Phenomenology of war that aims to re-conceptualise war as a phenomenological-ethical issue, where it is nor seen as a mere context in which human existence unfolds, but a formative condition that reconstitutes the world itself, transforming both its intelligibility and the way it is lived.
