Marina Garcés

Philosopher and writer

Philosopher, activist, and teacher. Her work focuses on politics and critical thinking, and on the need to articulate a philosophical voice that pursues commitment, action and emancipation founded on an awareness of our interdependence in a shared world. She is the author of several essay collections, including Filosofía inacabada (Galaxia Gutenberg, 2015), Nova il·lustració radical (Anagrama, 2017), Ciutat Princesa (Galaxia Gutenberg, 2018) and Malas compañías (Galaxia Gutenberg, 2022). Additionally, the Aula Oberta project, which she directed at the Institut d’Humanitats de Barcelona, resulted in the publication of Humanitats en acció (Raig Verd, 2019). More recently, her reflections have focused on the field of education and pedagogy. In that regard she has published Escola d'aprenents (Galaxia Gutenberg, 2020) and Pedagogies i emancipació (Arcàdia, 2020).

She is currently the director and member of the faculty of the Master’s degree in Philosophy for Contemporary Challenges at the Open University of Catalonia, and she organises the Teatre Lliure’s School of Thought together with Albert Lladó. She also coordinates the section “L’angle cec” for the television programme Planta baixa on TV3. She has been a member of the academic development team for the Independent Studies Programme (PEI) at the MACBA and she was the driving force behind the project “Espai en blanc”, a collective effort to forge a committed, practical, and experimental relationship with philosophical thought.
