    Research overview

    I am particularly interested in the history and theory of intellectual property. In my PhD I am currently exploring the multiple ways in which the copyright object has been imagined in the literature with the aim of assessing the political significance of different ontological perspectives that attempt to grasp the notion of intangibility in copyright law.
