Author/editor of 26 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 some additional space for the presentation of important heterogeneous voices from different corners of the world.
Most recently, he finished a book about the Austrian writer Peter Handke (who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 2019) entitled "Peter Handkes literarische Romantik".
He is preparing an edited volume examining the question of art (literature, theater, music, and painting) in Alain Badiou's seminal work (with a contribution by Alain Badiou). This volume follows the volume on "Slavoj Zizek und die Künste. Mit einem Beitrag von Slavoj Zizek" and the one on "Jacques Rancière und die Literatur".
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 fall and winter of 2025.
His next study 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 the romantic notion of "great literature" that dominated the German philosophical tradition up to and including archi-fascist variations such as Martin Heidegger's readings of German and Austrian (or in Heidegger's typical nationalist and exclusionary language: "deutschösterreichische") poetry.
Finally, he is working on several smaller projects that, among other things, include essays addressing the following topics: the question of "Dichtung" in Alain Badiou and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe; the issue of justice in Handke's literature; the role of the museum and the avantgarde for establishing and preserving aesthetic equality in the aesthetic writings of Jacques Rancière and Boris Groys; curatorship as an aesthetic-political practice.
