In the last decade, my research has focused on the question of how literature can help us understand and tackle our global and local problems: Research projects range from Sloterdijk and Resiliency: Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Global Warming, Refugee Literature and Jelinek, Precariousness and Hospitality to Olga Tokarczuk and Concepts of Immunity. Long-term research interests include Humor and Translation, Gender, Old Age, Judaica, Poetry/Poetics, Deconstruction and Discourse Analysis.

研究室紹介

My English-language classes focus on two areas: Transnational Literature and Applied Humanities. In Transnational Literature, I look at multilingualism, translation studies, and how global phenomena and crises are presented in literature, philosophy, art, and film (https://herradheselhaus.weebly.com/transnational-literature-translation-studies.html). Applied Humanities is skill-oriented (translation/language proficiency, creative solution, critical thinking) and reconnects the study of literature to the society we live in (https://herradheselhaus.weebly.com/applied-humanities.html). Teaching includes the newest approaches and trends in global literary studies and humanities and offers literature from around the globe: Europe (German, Polish, Russian, French, Italian), US/UK, Near/Middle East (Arab and Jewish) and Japan.
