Research
Boris’ research interests are primarily in establishing relationships between an archaeology of spiritual exercises in everyday life, and mimetic theory and biopolitics. Other main areas of his research include a constructive metaphysical reading of the Bible and a critical inquiry into ‘small lights of grace’ in theology, philosophy and literature. Boris is currently working on a new project for which he is reflecting on forms of life and forms of discourse using the theoretical tools and concepts of Gilles Deleuze, Michel De Certeau and Giorgio Agamben.
