I am thrilled and honored to announce that I will be an international fellow/scholar in residence at the University of Hamburg, Germany as part of the “Poetry in the Digital Age” project, funded by the European Research Foundation and lead by Professor Claudia Benthien!

Description of the project: This research project is situated between literary studies, cultural studies and interart research. It will develop tools to analyze today’s multifaceted poetry formats, ranging from pop culture to works of ‘high’ art, by scrutinizing their forms and sites of presentation and performance. Research will be structured into three sub-projects, focusing on (1) poetry and performance, (2) poetry and music, as well as (3) poetry and visual culture. An interdisciplinary team comprising scholars from the fields of literary studies, media and film studies, performance studies, sound studies, speech science and visual culture studies will work together to map this field.

Runtime: 2021-2025, funded by the European Research Foundation (ERC Advanced Grant)
