Research summary
Current research is focused on literature and translation, in particular it seeks a new paradigm for approaching literature as a mobile entity rather than a national one. I have experimented with bringing the nomadic philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Rosi Braidotti to bear on literary texts as they circulate in translation.
I am also part of the international research project 'Circulation of Dutch Literature', contributing an analysis of (post)colonial translation as applied to Oeroeg by the Dutch writer Hella S. Haasse.
Other interests include the adaptation of literary texts for performance.
