Andres Saenz De Sicilia

Biography

I hold a PhD and MA from the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University and a BA (Hons) Philosophy from the University of Sussex. I am accredited as a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (HEA) and a member of Mexico's National System of Researchers (SNI). I have previously held teaching positions at University College London, Newcastle and Roehampton as well as visiting research appointments at the University of Amsterdam's School for Cultural Analysis and UCL's Institute of Advanced Studies. Between 2020-2022 I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in philosophy at the UNAM in Mexico City.

Research
My primary areas of research are modern European philosophy (particularly the work of Kant, Hegel and Marx), social and political thought, critical theory and aesthetics. I am especially interested in bringing global and transdisciplinary perspectives to bear on these areas of enquiry as part of my research process.

My work has been published in Radical Philosophy, European Journal of Social Theory, Language Sciences, Valenciana, the SAGE Handbook of Marxism, the SAGE Handbook of Frankfurt School Critical Theory and has been supported by grant awards from the British Academy, Arts & Humanities Research Council, Kingston University and Mexican foreign office.

I sit on the editorial board of The Philosopher and the executive committee of the Society for European Philosophy.



Creative Practice
My creative practice is primarily focused on sound, performance and spatial practices as well as, occasionally, writing and video. My works and performances have been commissioned/featured in programs at the British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Cafe OTO, UNESCO Living Coast Biosphere, Whitechapel Gallery, BBC Radio 3, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma, Villa Lontana, Flat Time House, HKW Berlin and ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe and have been supported by funding from Arts Council England and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). I have collaborated on artistic projects with Assemble, Hito Steyerl, Walter Maoili, Public Data Lab, Cooperativa Cráter Invertido, Villa Lontana and Emiddio Vasquez.
