RESEARCH INTERESTS
Current project: Politics of Loneliness – Problems of Recognition
My second book project (Habilitation), Politics of Loneliness – Problems of Recognition, is situated at the intersection of literary and film studies, gender studies, history of emotions, psychoanalysis, and political philosophy.
Therein, I analyse poetics and cultural representations that problematize loneliness as an individual and collective phenomenon that arises from a disturbed process of (self- )recognition. My research underlines the post-colonial critique of recognition by Latin American philosophers, such as Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría, against the backdrop of the traditional European and US-American discussion (Axel Honneth, Nancy Fraser, Jessica Benjamin).
The project focuses mainly on Argentine and Mexican literary and filmic representation of the 20th century.
