With the extended restrictions on foreign travel during the 2021 fiscal year due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the archival part of my research had to be postponed. Under such circumstances, I dedicated this first year of my research project principally to bibliographical research on published works both on the phenomenological tradition and on neoliberal thought.
Together with Octavian Esanu (American University in Beirut), I edited a roundtable discussion entitled Art under Neoliberalism, which was published in the anniversary issue of the journal ARTMargins (MIT Press). For this roundtable we invited some of the most prominent scholars working on the intersection of economic theory and the humanities today, such as Arjun Appadurai, Martijn Konings, and Lee Claire LaBerge, among others (https://direct.mit.edu/artm/article-abstract/10/3/126/109487/Art-under-Neoliberalism?redirectedFrom=fulltext). This publication has gotten significant feedback from readers and is destined to become an important document of the scholarship on neoliberalism and its impacts in the broader cultural realm.
In addition, having been invited to participate in a symposium dedicated to the work of Butoh dancer Ko Muroboshi, I presented a paper entitled The Economy at Midnight, which highlights another aspect of the relationship between economic theory and artistic expression.
