// Prof. Dr. Florian Mussgnug (University College London, UK & University of Heidelberg, GER) Educated in Germany, Britain and Italy, he has been introduced to different and complementary ideas of excellence in scholarship and teaching. His double interest in literature and critical theory – originally prompted by an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Italian at Balliol College, University of Oxford – has over the years evolved into a commitment to several disciplines and to cross-disciplinary inquiry. He is particularly interested in the emergent, cross-disciplinary framework that links comparative literature, the modern languages and the creative humanities. His research focuses on modern and contemporary literature in Italian, German and English. He currently works on radical artistic practice, the posthuman and on cultural representations of catastrophe and apocalypse.
