About
My research focuses on modern European and American theater, with an emphasis on the interconnections between performance and philosophy. My current project examines various concepts of the baroque in 19th and 20th century continental philosophy and theatrical performance, drawing upon materialist theories of media and post-structuralist theories of rhetoric. Other research interests include: rhetorical mediations between philosophical and dramatic practices; narratives of (dis/re)enchantment; the history of skepticism; the self-as-performance; gesture and voice; affect(ation)s, mannerism(s), expression(ism), aesthetic(ism)s; anachronism; allegory and theatricality.
