As a cultural theorist and philosopher, I investigate the question of how language, images, emotions and technologies shape human learning, perception and the organisation of reality. I thus combine the conceptual toolkits of both disciplines with practical work on digital learning and knowledge systems.
My areas of focus:
- Emotion, Distinction and Everyday Life: Investigations into (supposedly) negative emotions such as disgust and shame and their influence on everyday practices such as consumer behaviour and aesthetic perception.
- Materiality, Art and Perception: Research on the materiality of artworks as a factor in aesthetic experience, and on titles of works as forms of performative critique.
- Media, Technology and Learning: Didactical and media-philosophical questions concerning the strategic use of visualisations and learning technologies (AI and XR) in (digital) education.
