Dr. Andrés Fabián Henao Castro is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Boston. His research deals with the relationships between ancient and contemporary political theory, via the prisms of de-colonial theory and poststructuralism. He is currently working on a book that explores different subject-positions and forms of agency imagined in the theoretical reception of Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone. His recent publications include the article “Slavery in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave: Alain Badiou, Jacques Rancière, and the Militant Intellectual from the Global South” (Theatre Survey); “Can the Subaltern Smile? Oedipus Without Oedipus” (Contemporary Political Theory); and “Antigone Claimed: ‘I am a Stranger!’ Political Theory and the Figure of the Stranger” (Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy). He is also a member of the international research network Performance Philosophy and a columnist for the online journal of political analysis Palabras al Margen (Words at the Margins).
