About
Andrés Vaccari has a PhD from the Department of Philosophy at Macquarie University. He is presently teaching online at Macquarie University and the University of Canberra.
His main research interests are in the areas of posthumanism and biophilosophy. He is interested in the interactions between the living and the technological in the history of western philosophy and science, in particular the way technological analogies and models have been applied to living things, with the cultural, ontological and historical consequences that this has brought about.
He is also interested in new ontologies and conceptual models that attempt to think through traditional oppositions beteen artificial/natural, culture/ nature, machine/organism, etc. This includes the work of Deleuze and Guattari, Manuel DeLanda, Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, Bernard Stiegler, Gilbert Simondon, Mark Hansen, Francisco Varela and Humberto Maturama, etc.
Also, there is a range of other research interests that issue from this: the role of technology and material culture in human evolution, phenomenological approaches to the philosophy of technology, recent approaches to materiality and technology in the cognitive sciences (embedded, distributed, extended cognition, etc.), the question of non-human agency (Latour, Pickering, Callon, Law, etc.), and the curious myths around technology developed in the Information Age (transhumanism, techno-mysticism, millenarianism, ideologies around biotechnology and genetic engineering, etc.)
