LCE research topics
We pursue research along three trajectories:
Emotions across Cultures and Languages – the ways in which literature highlights our feelings across different cultures and languages.
Cultural and Cognitive Memory – how literature shapes memories and identities.
Literature as a Lifeworld Technology – the role that literary texts and literary reading play in the digital lifeworld.
