Author/(co-)editor of 26 books; author of 90+ published and forthcoming articles and book chapters; translator of 11 books and of 90+ articles; some of his work has been translated into 8 languages; has served as first adviser, second advisor and external reader of thirty doctoral dissertations (and master's theses) on both sides of the Atlantic.
His (co-)edited volumes as well as his translations of 70+ authors from dozens of countries have attempted to provide spaces for both established and fresh voices from different philosophical, artistic, and cultural traditions.
In December 2024, he published a monograph 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 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Badiou, one of the most important and widely discussed contemporary European philosophers, and it includes a previously unpublished contribution by Alain Badiou on the status of "work" in the arts. This volume succeeds recently published volumes on Slavoj Žižek 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 through different theoretical and artistic perspectives from/on China, Japan, Turkey, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Italy, France, Austria, and Germany. Publication is expected late 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 as disarticulation of the romantic phantasmagoria of "große Kunst/Dichtung" that has often figured as the foundation for nationalist and exclusionary political projects in Austria and Germany. Texts such as Wolken.Heim, Totenauberg and several others engage with Martin Heidegger's account of the relationship between language, Dichtung (as "Ur-Sprache des deutschen Volkes"), earth, and politics; they perform Überschreibungen of Heidegger's "racinated" mytheme of language and inscribe themselves into a long tradition of Heidegger criticism articulated by poets and writers (such as Thomas Mann, Günter Grass, Arno Schmidt, Samuel Beckett, Maurice Blanchot, Ingeborg Bachmann, Paul Celan, Ernst Jandl, Friederike Mayröcker, Peter Handke, and Thomas Bernhard); they also constitute important responses to Heideggerianism in Europe, the US, Russia and elsewhere still brazenly displaying the tendency of "weißwaschen" Heideggerian identitarian Sprach- and Bodendenken by disavowing, among other things, the mountains of bones and skulls (of those murdered by Austrians and Germans in the Nazi genocide) that, for eyes not impaired by the lure of "Gelassenheit" and Heideggerian "Gespräch", continue piercing through the surface of the manicured Germanic language and landscape providing, in turn, archi-fascism and its obscene Ur-sagen- und Ur-kunden-forschung (to employ a pun by Jelinek) with faux lived, touristy experience of "Germanic culture". Publication date is expected for 2027.
Another volume in progress (co-edited with Michael Zangerl) focuses on the work of the eminent French thinker Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. It will examine Lacoue-Labarthe's significant contributions to literature, the arts, psychoanalysis, and politics. It is scheduled for publication late 2027.
Some of his shorter texts (recently completed or in progress) address 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 aesthetic thought; decolonial receptions of Frantz Fanon's work in Germany and elsewhere; Lacoue-Labarthe's reading of Mallarmé and Wagner.
