Paula Caspão (1968, Portugal) lives and works between Lisbon and Paris, critically navigating among theoretical research, cross-disciplinary artistic practices, and sociopolitical thought. She has worked extensively on the economies and infrastructures of research, on modes of knowledge production and their specific sensibilities, addressing the infraordinary dimensions of reading, translation, and editing. She is currently experimenting with cine-fabulation practices to interrogate the forms of extractivism and socio-environmental devastation involved in the production of knowledge and history, as well as in the maintenance of its institutions, technologies, and political fictions. Professor of Artistic Studies at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon, she is a researcher at the Center for Theater Studies at the same university (CET-FLUL) and is associated with the Institute of Contemporary History (IHC-UNL). She received her PhD in philosophy (epistemology and aesthetics) from the University of Paris Ouest Nanterre (2010) and was a visiting researcher in the Department of Performance Studies, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University (2018).
