Personal profile
Research interests
I work as an interdisciplinary cultural studies researcher, and I am in particular interested in the transformation of the public sphere due to digitalisation, globalisation and new strategies of fictionalization. In this context the role literary authors as intervening public intellectuals has my specific attention.
I consider literature a form of social knowledge, which means that the ideas and experiences described and explored in literary texts can be connected to societal issues and policies. Literature is an art form in which political and social positions are acted out.
Currently, I work on two book projects: Experiences of Migration in Literature, and The Truths of Fiction in Digital Societies.
