Biography

Marie Kolkenbrock holds a PhD in German Studies from the University of Cambridge (2014) and is a Branco Weiss Fellow in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at KCL. Marie’s academic work is informed by an interest in the ways psyche, society, and culture are inextricably linked and mutually constitutive to one another. Her current project is concerned with ideals of cultivated interpersonal and emotional distance in twentieth and twenty-first centuries conceptualizations of the public sphere. She is co-editor of the German Life and Letters Special Number 'The Politics and Poetics of Refusal: Towards a Theory of Primary Rejection' (2021). Her first monograph 'Stereotype and Destiny in Arthur Schnitzler’s Prose' was published with Bloomsbury in 2018.
