Research

My dissertation Sakernas sammanhang. Om ting, människor och materiella relationer hos Henry Parland, James Joyce och Virginia Woolf (The Contextures of Things: Objects, Humans and Material Relations in Henry Parland, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf) investigates the prominent role of objects in the modernist literary imagination of the early decades of the 20th century. The study examines texts by Henry Parland, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf that decentralize human characters by placing objects and their material relations in the foreground. Drawing on new materialist and process oriented theory I argue that these texts are rethinking the relation between humans and their material environments.

My upcoming postdoc project centers on questions of life and materiality in modernist literature.
