About

My research explores representations of male subjectivity in literature, on film and on the Internet. I am particularly interested in the aesthetic representation of extreme experiences and altered states of mind such as in war, love and masochism.

My publications include the monographs "Liebesschmerz und Textlust" (2000) and "Blut und Feuer" (2010).

I am currently working on a comparative study of romantic love in 21st century literature covering German-, English- and Finnish-language prose.

This research is part of an international, multidisciplinary, comparative research project on 'Experiences and Representations of Love in the Twenty-First Century'.
