Jean-Thomas Martelli is a mixed methods ethnographer in political science and sociology who focuses on what it means to represent politically in contemporary India. His ongoing interdisciplinary project explores the effects of political language on democracy when it transitions to authoritarianism. Through constituting large textual and visual repositories, he researches political discourses at the intersection of online and offline spaces, by examining their effects on populist careers, youth activism, advisory, generational politics, political professionalization, and practices of the self in contemporary India. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for International Studies (CERI) at Sciences Po Paris and the Scientific Secretary of the French Association of Political Science (AFSP). Dr. Martelli was a research fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies at Leiden University and a visiting fellow at the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University. Prior to his tenure at Stanford, he co-headed the Politics and Society research division at the French research unit in India, the Centre de Sciences Humaines (CSH, UMIFRE 20 MEAE-CNRS) in New Delhi—2018-2022. He holds his doctoral degree in political science and sociology—with a focus on contemporary India—from the King’s India Institute, King’s College London.
