The Team

Marc Berdet

(Curriculum)

Marc Berdet is currently a Marie-Curie Fellow at the University of Potsdam, Berlin (project AMEUR from the programme FP7-people). He is also associate researcher with the Centre d’étude des techniques, des connaissances et des pratiques (University of Paris Sorbonne) and the Centre interdisciplinaire d’études et de recherches sur l’Allemagne (Paris).

After having written a doctoral thesis on Walter Benjamin (Fantasmagories et mouvement social dans Paris, capitale du XIXe siècle. La démarche historico-sociologique d’un chiffonnier ["Phantasmagoria and Social Movement in the Arcades Project. A Ragpicker's Historical-Sociological Reasoning"]), he is currently working in two complementary directions: on a one hand, he is trying to shape a new reading of Walter Benjamin from the standpoint of his “anthropological” materialism; on the other hand, with an updating of the critical theory, he aims at analysing the aesthetic of our (post)modern world. He is thus writing two books: the former interprets Benjamin along with his critical method; the latter analyses the “phantasmagorias” of capital.

He is also the chief-editor of the website http://anthropologicalmaterialism.hypotheses.org, and is preparing a journal of social research, Anthropology + Materialism.
