E. Carrasco-Jiménez holds a Doctorate in Criminal Law from the University of Salamanca and a Master’s degree in Criminology and Juvenile Delinquency from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. His academic work critically examines the foundations of penal law through an ontological and epistemic lens, questioning traditional assumptions about crime, punishment, and legal subjectivity.

His research focuses on the concept of ontological fragility within penal systems, analyzing how law functions as a symbolic apparatus that classifies and excludes subjects while producing specific forms of normativity and control. Moving beyond classical legal paradigms, Carrasco-Jiménez explores the rupture between legal norms and lived experiences of harm, seeking to rethink justice beyond conventional frameworks.

He integrates perspectives from philosophy, biopolitics, and critical criminology to unveil the structural and metaphysical premises embedded in legal discourse, emphasizing the limitations of penal rationality when addressing systemic violence and social exclusion.

Carrasco-Jiménez has contributed to international academic journals with articles that challenge the prevailing narratives in criminology and legal studies, advocating for a post-juridical understanding of crime and punishment that highlights the vulnerability of both the law and those subjected to it.

His current research advances a theory of ontological fragility as a methodological tool to uncover how legal systems silence certain forms of suffering and rupture that escape normative recognition. This critical approach aims to foster new dialogues about justice that transcend codified law and acknowledge the complex realities of social conflict.
