Darko Vinketa is a doctoral candidate in Political Theory at Johns Hopkins University. He holds an MA in Journalism from the Faculty of Political Sciences in Zagreb and an MA in Critical Gender Studies from Central European University. His research explores the figurations of theatricality in canonical and contemporary political philosophy, especially as they relate to modern politico-economic notions of production, value, and money. In his work, he applies the deconstructive philosophy of Jacques Derrida to pressing political concerns of our time surrounding automation, debt, financialization and universal basic income.
