Simon J. Evnine is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the College of Arts and Sciences, University of Miami. His research spans metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of art, with recent interdisciplinary work exploring internet memes as abstract artifacts governed by production norms.
- Coined a theory of memes as "memographic practices" rooted in historical traditions
- Developed a hylomorphic framework for analyzing artifacts, actions, and organisms
- Contributed to debates on ontological minimalism and the metaphysics of ordinary objects
His recent publications include the self-published book A Certain Gesture: Evnine’s Batman Meme Project and Its Parerga!, blending philosophy, psychoanalysis, and self-writing. Earlier work focused on epistemology, culminating in Epistemic Dimensions of Personhood. A dedicated blog (The Parergon) documents his creative process and theoretical reflections.
Current projects involve expanding his meme-based philosophical inquiry into a second volume of A Certain Gesture, with explorations of psychoanalysis, Judaism, and genre theory. Though no explicit awards or teaching roles are listed, his work has been reviewed in Philosophy in Review and shared internationally through readings in Spain, Italy, and the U.S.
