Biography

Axel Fliethmann is an internationally recognised scholar in the fields of literary theory and media philology. He studied Literature, History, and Philosophy at the University of Cologne in Germany, where he received his PhD (DPhil). Before joining Monash University, he served as a post-doctoral fellow at the research centre 'Medien und Kulturelle Kommunikation' at the University of Cologne. His published monograph 'Stellenlektüre Stifter - Foucault', released by Niemeyer in 2001, engages with epistemological paradoxes in philology and literary theory. In 2014, he published 'Texte über Bilder. Zur Gegenwart der Renaissance' with Rombach, which conceptualises media philology as a new field of inquiry at the intersection of traditional philology and media theory. Currently, he is investigating the connections between material images and concepts of imagination in the Early Modern period, focusing on intersections of image technologies and the formation of modern concepts in aesthetic theory and medical discourse. He is widely published in literary theory, visual cultures, and media philology and is a co-founder and co-editor of 'Limbus: Australian Yearbook of German Literary and Cultural Studies.' Fliethmann is a fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities.
