Author/editor of 25 books; author of 80+ articles and book chapters; translator of 11 books and of 90+ articles; some of his work has been translated into 7 languages.
His editorial and translation work is part of his attempt to contribute to Trinity College's imperative regarding equ(al)ity, diversity and inclusion. His (co-)edited volumes as well as his translations of 70+ authors from 5 continents have been animated by the hope that these volumes and translations offer spaces for the presentation of important heterogeneous voices.
He is currently finishing a book about the Austrian writer Peter Handke (who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2019). The title of this book is: "'Die Literatur ist romantisch'. Marginalien zu Literatur und Politik bei Peter Handke" (publication date: end of 2024).
He is also preparing an edited volume (with a contribution by Alain Badiou) examining the question of art (literature, theater, music, and painting) in Badiou's seminal work.
Furthermore, he is preparing a volume 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 for both volumes will be 2025.
His next project after the completion of these two volumes will engage with the Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek (who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2004) to suggest that Jelinek's literature can be grasped as formidable disarticulation of a certain romantic and even "archifascist" (Lacoue-Labarthe) conception of "great literature".
