Project

At Faberllull, he aims to write about men and networks, ponder masculinities and link them to material and political conditions. His working hypothesis is that heterosexual masculinity is undergoing a transformation, the direction of which is affected by a wealth of factors, from global trends to the political strength of a man's nation or group of affiliation, as well as his relationship with the various incentives of each social network.
