09/2024 there appears to be a problem with my yale email address. please use [email protected] for the moment. thanks!

I’m an academic and writer. Currently, I’m a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University with a Walter Benjamin Stipend. In my academic work, I use social theory — such as the strong programme in cultural sociology, discourse ethics, or resonance theory — to understand how authorship and literary fiction work in society. I also write literary fiction and poetry myself. Choose below to find out more about my academic or literary work.

You can find an overview of my scholarly work as well as a small selection of my literary work on this website. The scholarly work is mostly in English, the novel and poems are in German.

 

You can also find a selection of typographic portraits of writers. An ongoing project, just for fun:
