Biography

Christian Steentofte Andersen is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on the social dimensions of large-scale societal change through literature. His research investigates how literary fiction can illuminate the everyday consequences of cultural narratives shaped by global capitalism, gentrification, and the rural–urban divide, as well as contemporary geographical inequalities. He earned his PhD with a thesis entitled 'Københavns herskabeliggørelse – gentrificeringsfortællinger dansk samtidslitteraur' which introduced the field of Literary Urban Studies in Denmark, analyzing how contemporary literature responds to urban developments such as gentrification. Currently, he is leading a project titled 'Mobility Tales – Rural-Urban Urban-Rural Migration in Danish Literature', which examines how Danish literature from the 1970s onwards depicts movements of people, objects, and ideas between rural and urban settings. This project explores the motivations behind these movements and the ways in which rural and urban places are continuously reshaped by mobility.
