Professor Rodrigo Parrini Roses holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology and a Master's degree in Gender Studies. He has developed qualitative research on masculinities, body, violence, and human rights with different protagonists for more than 20 years.

His findings have contributed, with a situated and interdisciplinary knowledge, to the understanding of corporealities and the relationship they may have with law, politics, or aesthetics. He carries out theoretical and empirical work on migrant bodies and affections, violence, the intimate and the public, and closeness and distance, in the experiences of these collectives. Her analysis focuses on contemporary manifestations of power, embodied with violence, in experiences located in ambiguous zones between life and death, memory and oblivion, belonging and exclusion.

For more than 14 years, he has conducted an ethnography on the Mexican-Guatemalan border on the desire that addresses one of the fundamental questions of anthropological practice: the tension between the individual and the social. The inscription of desire is not only a subjective event but transversal to different social relations. He is the author of three books: Panópticos y Laberintos. Subjetivación, deseo y corporalidad en una cárcel de hombres (2007, El Colegio de México), Falotopías. Indagaciones en la crueldad y el deseo (2016, IESCO/CIEG-UNAM) and Deseografías. Una antropología del deseo (2018, UAM/CIEG-UNAM); compiler of 6 anthologies in the field of sexuality, gender, corporeality, and cultural practices and has published more than 30 articles in different journals and collective books.

Currently, he collaborates with the company Teatro Línea de Sombra and the collective Teatro Ojo in a project that explores the ethnographic potentials of artistic practices and the methodological horizons inaugurated by the dialogue between theater and anthropology.
