In a time when “fake news” and conspiracy theories bloom, comprehending the way how narratives can bewitch us is a key competence to filter information. My research seeks to understand the popularity of narratives with a strong focus on the circulation, translation and adaptation of narratives in East Asia. My research agenda is organized around three major questions: 1) How, and why, do some narratives persist, while others fall into oblivion? 2) What role do adaptation, translation, and intertextuality play for the circulation of narratives? 3) How can digital tools help us to understand the circulation of narratives. |

My research focuses on German-Danish cultural relations and transfers, also in the framework of cultural memory. The ongoing DFF-project “Danish-German Cultures 1773-1864. Conflict and Cohesion” investigates the forgotten entanglements of the Danish-German composite state: identity formations, narratives, and imaginaries in a zone with conflicting and coexisting national, regional and lingual orientations before the nationstate 1864. A focus in my teaching is contemporary German memory cultures and migration literature as a medium of memory. |
