Vita

My field is Romance languages and literature with a primary focus on cultural and literary studies as well as art history. I have taught as a Guest Lecturer at the Berlin University of the Arts and was a Research Fellow within the German Research Foundation (DFG) PhD programme "Technology and Society” at the Technical University of Darmstadt where I obtained my doctorate in Philosophy. My dissertation "The Mannequin: From Lay Figure to Technological Cult Object. Imagining Bodies in the Works of Giorgio de Chirico" (VDG, Weimar, 2008) is about the so-called Metaphysical Group and their representation of the body.
