The Paradigm of Insensitive Text) . In 2006 he completed his habilitation at the Free University of Berlin on affect politics under Gustave Flaubert . From 2007 he was Professor of Comparative Literature at Bielefeld University and from 2010 at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (general and comparative literature with a focus on Romance studies).
