Research Projects
- Creativity and professional identity: This research debates on the interfaces of creativity in the worlds of work, highlighting the industrial designer figure and the consequences - professional, physical, identity and/or social -, for those professional, of attach themselves to a volatile concept as "creativity" to define their carrier and personalities.
- Max Weber and Sociology of Emotions: an exegetical analysis of the work of Max Weber, in order to construct a lexicon and a theoretical basis for the study of emotions from a Weberian theoretical perspective. The real intent of this project is to answer the question: how far can Weberian theory help us to comprehend the role of emotions in social actions?
- The role of conflict in social theory: A recurring topic in political and social theory as a whole is the role of conflict. Living in the extreme, between the sacred and the profane, various interpretations for the theme have already been presented. The aim of this research project is to present some of the interpretations that highlight the not only positive but also essential character of the conflict for political theory: as the main condition of freedom, as well as a founding and inseparable element of politics. This will be done by constructing an argument from the main authors of social and political theory, including Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Max Weber, Karl Max, Emile Durkheim, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, and others.
- The relationship between Eros and the scientific practice: As Max Weber once wrote: "The rejection of all naive surrender to the most intensive ways of experiencing existence, artistic and erotical, is as such only a negative attitude. But it is obvious that such rejection could increase the force with which energies flow into rational achievement, both the ethical as well as the purely intellectual". In its raw state maybe, the emotions can escape the sociological scope, but observing that Freud and even Weber considers affections as a way of socializing impulses and desires, the context is extended. More than made social, suppose that such drives are “domesticated” by the social. This Project has as intent raise light on the turbulent waters that surround our imaginary ivory tower: opposing concepts such Eros, affections and desires to the myths of objective science and scientist as a rational being.
