I am happy to share my article about the affective dynamics of Bolsonaro and Lula during the 2022 Elections. Using psychoanalysis, I show how affects circulate, creating identities and framing the political context. Send me a DM and I'll send a copy to you.

In 1932, Lacan sent his thesis to Freud. Freud replied with an acknowledgement note. In 2025, I sent my paper on fantasy to Yannis Stavrakakis. Stavrakakis shared it in his research group on Facebook. 💙🩶

I want to thank my Ph.D. supervisors for their guidance throughout the writing of this paper. I also want to thank @sentimonitor for providing a great tool, which helped with the analysis.

Mais do mesmo. Perderam a chance de se conectar de forma mais significativa pelos afetos — seja pelo conteúdo, pela prática ou pela performance. A galera da comunicação está precisando ler Eklundh & Ronderos (2025), Moffitt (2016) e, claro, Mouffe (2022).

@willgomes Estou curiosa para ver como a esquerda vai responder à essa estratégia política-afetiva. Essa jogada é muito bem pensada.

Amazing topic!! I could send my whole thesis 😂 It is sad that I cannot attend, and there is no option for online attendance.

"This is pure delirium (...) "go and do your homework." (Laclau, 2014, p.178)

Criticism of Zizek's romanticized view of Brazilian favelas and Canudos. I don't know which one surprised me more: the format of the criticism or Zizek's ignorance about Brazil.

Honest friends are the best. A great friend just diagnosed me with impostor syndrome. It seems we have found out why I am struggling with the conclusion of my thesis. Now, I need to find out the treatment. #phdlife

[Bianca Alighieri Luz Monteiro, PhD @biancaalighieri]

Why is so difficult to write a thesis Conclusion? I am entering the fifth day without writing a simple sentence, and I have no idea why. #phdlife

[Bianca Alighieri Luz Monteiro, PhD @biancaalighieri]

I think it’s time for me to have a real conversation with my Genius/Thing, otherwise the Conclusion of my thesis will be the worst text of my academic career. https://t.co/tV0ftuqwG1

A mais bela descrição de 'discurso' que já li.

[Bianca Alighieri Luz Monteiro, PhD @biancaalighieri]

"Mesmo que não comunique nada, o discurso representa a existência da comunicação; mesmo que negue a evidência, ele afirma que a fala constitui a verdade; mesmo que se destine a enganar, ele especula com a fé no testemunho." (Lacan, 1953, p.252)

My week began with an email about ending my temporary employment as a PhD at UiS. Although I am very thankful for the investment the UiS made in my research, funding a PhD for only three years makes it hard for students to finish their studies. #PhDlife

The Grammarly Plagiarism and AI Text Check tool just detected that a quote from Laclau was created by generative AI. 🙄 Instead of citing Laclau (2005), I should cite Generate by AI. Unbelievable!
