Author/(co-)editor of 27 books; author of 90+ articles and book chapters; translator of 11 books and of 90+ articles; some of his work has been translated into 7 languages; adviser and external reader of doctoral dissertations in the US and in 5 European countries.

His (co-)edited volumes as well as his translations of 70+ authors from dozens of countries have been intended as small contributions to the circulation of important and diverse voices from different linguistic and cultural traditions.  

In December 2024, he published a book-length essay about the Austrian writer Peter Handke (who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2019) entitled Peter Handkes literarische Romantik.

In December 2025, he published an edited volume (together with Michael Zangerl) entitled Alain Badiou und die Künste examining - for the first time in a truly comprehensive fashion in any language - the question of the arts (literature and theater; music; painting) in the work of Alain Badiou, one of the most important and widely discussed contemporary European philosophers, and it includes a previously unpublished contribution by Alain Badiou on the status of "work" in the arts. This volume succeeds prior volumes on Slavoj Zizek und die Künste (containing an essay by Slavoj Žižek) and on Jacques Rancière und die Literatur (edited with M. Manfé).

Currently, he is completing a volume (together with Gerhard Unterthurner and Christian Sorace) that examines contemporary constellations of biopolitics, aesthetics, and art by gathering different theoretical and artistic perspectives from and/or on China, Japan, Turkey, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Italy, France, Austria, and Germany. Publication is expected in the summer/early fall of 2026. 

His current research - facilitated by two guest professorships in 2025-26 - engages with the Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek (who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2004) to examine the ways in which Jelinek's (conception of) literature can be read in terms of disarticulations of the romantic phantasmagoria of "große Kunst/Dichtung" that, particularly in the German and Austrian traditions, has repeatedly figured as the foundation for nationalist and exclusionary political projects. Texts such as Wolken.Heim, Totenauberg and several others engage with Martin Heidegger's questionable rendition of the relationship between language, Dichtung (as Ur-Sprache des deutschen Volkes) and politics and perform Überschreibungen that exhibit elective affinities to both critical and deconstructive philosophical readings of Heidegger such as Theodor W. Adorno's Jargon der Eigentlichkeit and "Parataxis", Jacques Derrida's Geschlecht III and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's reflections of the relationship between romanticism and national-aestheticism. Incidentally, Jelinek's brilliant Überschreibungen of Heidegger's mytheme of language also constitutes an important response to past and even contemporary attempts by primarily white male scholarship on Heidegger that, sometimes exhibiting a surprisingly restricted and/or tendentious grasp of the German language, continues to weißwaschen Heideggerian Sprachdenken that is saturated with nationalist and antisemitic Winke. Publication date is expected for winter of 2026-2027.

Some of his shorter texts currently in progress address the constellation of the museum, the avant-garde and biopolitics in the aesthetic writings of Boris Groys and Jacques Rancière; Mario Perniola's sociopolitical thought; decolonial receptions of Frantz Fanon's work in Germany and elsewhere.
