My research interests are primarily situated within contemporary aesthetics and the philosophy of mind, with particular attention to the ways in which experience, meaning, and our understanding of the world are articulated. Within this framework, phenomenology and enactivist approaches in cognitive science provide a constant theoretical horizon that accompanies and informs my work.
From this perspective, I investigate narrative as an embodied practice of sense-making, understood not as a merely linguistic or representational form, but as a schema through which experience, action, and meaning are articulated and shared. Narrative is analyzed as an aesthetic and experiential device, capable of orienting perception and rendering intelligible portions of the lived world, as well as a scaffolding tool for individual and social cognition, involved in the constitution of identity across the dimensions of the I, the you, and the we. Particular attention is devoted to the role of narrative practices in the formation of social imaginaries, common sense, and the normative horizons that orient desires, evaluations, and shared forms of life.
