Career

Canaparo was born in the city port of Campana, Argentina, to a mother of Hebrew origins and an Italian rooted father; he was a traveller, manual worker and scientific researcher before entering academia. He studied at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Rosario, at the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO) at Buenos Aires, at the DAMS delle arti, della musica e dello spettacolo) at the Università degli Studi di Bologna, and received his Ph.D. under the supervision of William Rowe at King’s College London in 2000.

Prevented from working in Europe as a philosopher or social scientist, he developed most of his projects in academia as a “Latin American specialist”. He joined the Faculty of Arts at Exeter University in 1995 where in 2004 he created the Centre for Latin American Studies. In 2009 he was appointed Visiting Professor at Birkbeck College. He is also Associated Researcher at the Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium. Themes of his works include sociology of knowledge (Muerte y transfiguración de la cultura rioplatense), epistemology and colonialism (Geo-Epistemology, El imaginario patagonia), authorship theory (The Manufacture of an Author), and science and writing (Ciencia y escritura).

Major works

Canaparo's work in Geo-Epistemology focuses on the development of a perspective named “reversal thinking” which tries to analyze the evolution of ideas and concepts in relation with a notion of an alternative concept of space as the main speculative stand point.

As part of this general approach Canaparo developed a number of aspects such as the relation between science and writing, [1] the construction of the concept of authorship, [2] and the re-configuration of some concepts of the history of European philosophy. [3] But the major work in this context is constituted by an analysis of a leading case of the cultural and conceptual evolution of space, in which space is considered as the most accurate speculative approach to the situation and development of knowledge in peripheral areas.

Lately his work has evolved towards an analysis of the relationship between epistemology and colonialism from the conceptual and technical point of view. Under this context he developed a trilogy about Latin America which concentrates in the conceptual consequences of language, colonialism and what he calls post-territoriality. The first volume of these analyses of Latin America, from the point of view of knowledge and Diaspora, is entitled Viaje en Egipto. La formulación espacial del colonialismo y sus consecuencias. The second volume is El pensamiento del ojo en las colonias. La formulación espacial del colonialismo y sus visiones, and the third volume El autor periférico. La formulación espacial del colonialismo y su escritura.
