I have always striven to push or extend the boundaries of my discipline. Being trained in literary studies (German philology), I expanded my notion of the literary into the study of culture, first by bringing it into relation with ethnology (literary anthropology). This translation between disciplines opened for me the broader field of cultural theory. In my book on “Cultural Turns” I carved out main trajectories and new orientations in the study of culture that are stimulating for transdisciplinary approaches. It formed the basis from which I am now pursuing a calling question: Can translation be considered as a major mode and important analytical category for our contemporary times and problems – not only for crossing disciplines and linking different research systems, but also for a necessary transnationalization of the study of culture and, finally, for the global encounter itself? In this sense my new book in progress on “Society as Translation” deals with an expanded, not merely linguistic notion of translation: As an important category of cultural and social practice in a globalized world translation seems to become a main concern of translational humanities.
|
|
|
My current scholarship focuses on intersections of literary discourses, especially poetry, sound/music, media technologies, and philosophy. Specifically, I am interested in literary representations of imaginary sound/music vs. the media-technological reproducibility of actual sound; the auditory as a supplement of visuality; and philosophical approaches to auditory experiences.
|
|
|
For the past three decades I have worked in new media theory, with a particular focus on the concept of mediation. In the past decade my work has turned increasingly to questions of the nonhuman. My current research focuses on the arboreal humanities, with a particular interest in the relationality of forests, trees, fungi, and all of the human and nonhuman plants and animals that make up what I am calling arboreal mediation.
|
|
|
My main research interests are: literary and cultural theory, the intersections of philosophy and literature, the cognitive, ethical and cultural meaning of literature, and literary translation.

Fellows are academics at postdoctoral (junior) and professorial (senior) level who join the GCSC for a limited period of time (usually between 2-6 months). Coming from various universities and covering a wide range of different disciplines, these academics strengthen the GCSC’s national and international networks, add new perspectives and bring their academic experiences and teaching skills into the GCSC. The Fellows broaden the GCSC’s research and teaching profile by offering courses for postgraduate students within the GCSC’s curriculum. Their teaching load varies depending on their focus on either research or teaching. Furthermore, all fellows become members of the GCSC and are available for stimulating discussion with PhD students. They also serve as mentors for doctoral students, giving feedback on current or future research projects.
