Zlatan Filipovic is an Associate Professor in English and Comparative Literature at the University of Gothenburg, where he has served as a Senior Lecturer and Postdoctoral Research Fellow since 2010. He studied English, theoretical philosophy, and visual studies at various universities in Sweden and abroad, obtaining a Master of Research degree at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His research primarily focuses on the topoi opened by postmodernism, with a specific interest in literary theory, particularly the poststructuralist turn of the 1970s, which liberates literature from the constraints of formalism and universalism. Influenced by continental philosophers such as Jacques Derrida, Maurice Blanchot, and Emmanuel Levinas, Filipovic examines the ethical approaches to subjectivity and otherness in modern literature. His latest projects include works on climate trauma and the ethical implications of identity in contemporary societies, along with various published essays and contributions to literary criticism.
