Mentor Areas
I have published more than forty books on modernism, literary theory, psychoanalysis and philosophy. Recent investigations led me to explore the natural world (Rust, 2018). I keep working on the theories of Derrida and Lacan.
Description:
After having written several books on modernism, literary theory, and psychoanalysis, I am now investigating the theme of laughter, as I began exploring in Kafka L.O.L. (Quodlibet, 2018). I want to continue exploring the links between Freud's theory of jokes, Bergson on laughter, and the politics of laughter as deployed by Paolo Virno.
