Since September 2019, Arnaud Miranda has been a doctoral student in political theory, affiliated with Sciences Po Law School and the CEVIPOF.

After completing a BA in philosophy at the Sorbonne (Paris IV) and graduating from Sciences Po's undergraduate programme, in 2017, he obtained a master's degree (summa cum laude) in Political Theory at Sciences Po (2019). He was the recipient of a Doctoral Fellowship for three years, after which he was a visiting doctoral fellow at Oxford University's DPIR (OxPo program) and subsequently at Cambridge University's POLIS department (CamPo programme). After being an ATER (a state-funded temporary contract researcher) at Sciences Po (2022-2023), he is currently an ATER in the political science department at UVSQ.

His thesis, jointly supervised by Julie Saada and Jean-Yves Pranchère, is on the history of political ideas enriched by the contributions of hermeneutics and metaphorology. It is entitled “Les pensées contemporaines de la décadence : un imaginaire antidémocratique”.

Arnaud Miranda is the winner of the Fondation des Treilles “Jeune Chercheur” prize (2024).

His publications focus on decadence (“Qu'est-ce que la décadence”, Alkemie, 2021), the reactionary imaginary (“Rhétoriques écologiques de la mouvance national-populiste”, Études internationales, forthcoming late 2024) and the convergence of critical thinking on modernity (“A metaphysics of the stump: Spengler's Thousand Plateaus”, in The (Un-)Eventful: A Transdisciplinary Journey, Ed. Q. Immisch and P. Kaletsch, Windpark Books, 2024). He also co-edited issue 93 of Raisons politiques (January 2024), in which he translated an article by Quentin Skinner (with Justine Brisson).
