Biography

I work in the field of literary theory and comparative literature, with particular expertise in ethical criticism, ecocriticism and practice-oriented physics.

My book Gyakorláskutatás. Írások és mozgásterek [Practice research. Writings and spaces of motion] (Kalligram, Pozsony, 2013) promotes an ethics conceived of as practical orientation in time(s) focusing on questions such as how can we get in touch with something that happens, how can we get into the rhythm of an event or into the space of a practice, how can we find a passage between the kinetic spaces of different occurrences? This project includes experimental workshops of reading and writing in natural environment (Land-rover Book camps).

My article “Empirical Research and Practice-oriented Physics for the Humanities and Sciences” (CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture 18.2. 2016) discovered an affinity between the rhythmic spaces of practical orientation and the complementary curled up dimensions of string theory.

I am currently working on a thematic issue of Comparative Literature and Culture: (“)Kinetic spaces(”). The Challenge of Complexity by Practical Rhythms.
