Ongoing research

The current focus of the principal investigator’s research is dedicated to phenomena and negotiations of digitalization and disconnectivity in contemporary German-language book poetry.

The aim of this postdoc project is to investigate the media circulation of contemporary poetry across different formats and interfaces.

This dissertation is dedicated to the investigation of accessibility and barriers in contemporary poetry, with a focus on pop and high culture, interart, multisensory and digital.

Digital sounding poetry and the relationship between the three kinds of subjects it expresses – the lyric subject of the poem, the embodied subject of vocal performance, and the digital subject of technology – are at the forefront of this postdoc project.

The project examines the relationship between Contemporary Poetry and New Music. The focus is on the question of which 'intimate spaces' text and music can form in current vocal compositions based on poems.

This ecocritically oriented postdoctoral project investigates the entanglements of various material agents in contemporary multimodal poetry. The focus is on the question of poetic strategies for visualizing the Anthropocene as the Technocene.

This dissertation explores contemporary Jewish poetry and visualisations of memory and identity in contemporary poems and poetry films.

The relationship between multimodal aesthetics and sociopolitical, e.g., feminist, messages in social media poetry and their participatory communities, constitutes the dissertation’s research object.
