Reading guide to my research works.
Where to start if you are discovering my work?
I do not publish on separate subjects.
I work within a single architecture.
The guiding thread is this: how meaning is constructed, captured, and ultimately turned against us.
Orientation, work, identity, emotion, expertise: these are as many levels of the same problem, with each text illuminating a different layer, from the shaping of trajectories to the receivable production of lived experience, including engagement at work, its narrative operators, and regimes of legitimacy.
Taken together, the whole body of work reconstructs one thing: the architecture of capture.

Suggested reading order
1. Max-out: the synthesis
Entry point.
The most accessible overview of the framework.
For: employees, managers, HR professionals / journalists... see also press kit and infographic.
2. Max-out
How meaning, commitment, recognition, and fulfillment become levers of capture at work.
For: readers who want the foundational theoretical core.
3. De-assigned vocational guidance
Going back before work.
How choices, trajectories, and assignments prepare upstream the ground on which the system can connect itself.
For: practitioners, theoretical readers, students, parents, researchers.
4. Max-out: Archaeology of contemporary self-alienation
The full deployment of the framework.
The continuity between school, guidance, and work that produces a compliant, available subject, then maintains them at the edge of collapse, helping explain trajectories into Burn-out, Bore-out, Brown-out, and Workaholism.
For: researchers, theoretical readers.
5. From nothing to suffering
The compensatory narration operator that constructs the narrative and anchors the emotions necessary for endurance.
For: researchers, theoretical readers, psychologists, clinicians.
6. Conforming emotion
The intimate core of the model.
How emotion is socially conformed within a format oriented by receivability.
For: researchers, theoretical readers, professionals in care and in the reception of suffering.
7. Typology of contemporary expertise in context
Transversal text.
How forms of expertise, their regimes of legitimacy, and forms of disqualification structure public space, organizing status and access to thought by capturing the very conditions of critical thinking.
For: researchers, theoretical readers, experts.
Two levels of access:
To enter the general architecture — Max-out: the synthesis, Max-out, De-assigned vocational guidance, Max-out: Archaeology of contemporary self-alienation
To enter the theoretical operators of the model — Max-out: Archaeology..., From nothing to suffering, Conforming emotion
The theoretical operators require a multidisciplinary framework combining work psychology, sociology, philosophy, and ergonomics.
