Author/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.

His (co-)edited volumes as well as his translations of 70+ authors from dozens of countries have been undertaken in the hope that they might contribute to the circulation of diverse voices from different linguistic and cultural traditions.  

In December 2024, he published a book 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) examining - for the first time in a comprehensive fashion - 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one of the most important and widely discussed contemporary European philosophers; this volume includes a previously unpublished contribution by Alain Badiou on the status of "work" in the arts.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 Zizek) and on "Jacques Rancière und die Literatur". 

Currently, he is completing a volume (together with Gerhard Unterthurner and Christian Sorace) that examines the contemporary constellation of biopolitics, aesthetics, and art by gathering theoretical and artistic perspectives from and/or on China, Japan, Turkey, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Italy, France, Austria, and Germany. Publication date will be mid-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 a disarticulation of the romantic notion of "great literature" that, as supposed foundation of "eigentliche Politik", often invoked some "secret destiny" for the supposedly elect "German" and/or "Austrian" people. Her texts such as 'Wolken.Heim" and "Totenauberg" engage repeatedly with Martin Heidegger"s nationalist presentation of the relationship between language, Dichtung and politics (thereby performing close readings exhibiting elective affinities not only to Theodor W. Adorno's "Jargon of Authenticity", but also to Jacques Derrida's "Geschlecht III" and to Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe's reflections of the relationship between romanticism and national-aestheticism). Publication date will be winter of 2026.

He is also working on several shorter texts addressing the following topics: the constellation of the museum, the avant-garde and biopolitics in the aesthetic writings of Boris Groys and Jacques Rancière; Mario Perniola's political philosophy; Frantz Fanon's complex relationship to European thought.
