PhD in Media Studies, my work takes place at the articulation of Science and Technology Studies, Anthropology of Communication and Cultural Studies. My research foregrounds the practical and political dimensions of information infrastructures, which take a crucial part, even though mostly invisible, in contemporary societies.
Bio [FR]:
Docteur en sciences sociales de Telecom ParisTech, je travaille à l’intersection des sciences de l’information et de la communication, de l’anthropologie de la communication et de l’ethnographie des technologies de coopération.
En juin 2016, j’ai soutenu une thèse consacrée aux réseaux communautaires sans fil et aux agencements d’actants qui les entourent. J’y analyse les modes d’existence de plusieurs types de logiciel MESH mais également les principes socio-culturels et politico-civiques que ces dispositifs dessinent (à la fois au sein de l’écologie globale d’Internet et dans les environnements locaux où il est déployé).
