His research focuses on Critical Theory, particularly the works of Marx and Adorno, with an emphasis on negative aesthetics and the intersection of philosophy with media and culture. He has contributed extensively to the analysis of Adorno's empirical investigations on television, the philosophical implications of audiovisual media, and the contemporary relevance of Marx's materialism. His publications explore topics such as hermeneutics, dialectical materialism, and the cultural impact of modern media.

The articles listed reflect his engagement with Critical Theory, media studies, and philosophical interpretations of Marxism. Themes include the critique of the unconscious in Adorno's appropriation of Freud, the formative role of audiovisual media, and the modern discovery of orality. These works span interdisciplinary connections between philosophy, cultural studies, and media theory.
