Luis Moreno-Caballud is an Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Spanish & Portuguese within the School of Arts & Sciences. His research bridges philosophy, literature, film, and cultural history, with a focus on modern and contemporary Iberian studies. He examines the intersection of Western metaphysics, capitalism, and finite human existence, particularly in Spain’s socio-political contexts. Key areas include rural cultural transformations under Franco, neoliberal crisis dynamics, and grassroots cultural democratization.
His work includes the book Cultures of Anyone (2015), analyzing the breakdown of technocratic authority during Spain’s 2008 crisis, and a current project on aesthetics’ role in displacing neoliberal subjectivities. He also writes fiction and non-academic articles, published on his blog.
Research interests coalesce around three axes: animist critiques of Western dualism, feminist materialist imaginaries in sustaining life, and egalitarian art practices resisting privatization. His articles span topics like Francoist rural discourse, post-war cultural narratives, and documentary film responses to urban transformation.
