I’m an assistant professor of English at Aalborg University, working mainly on cultural transformations between high and low culture, investigating how these entities intersect and inform each other. Continuing within a cultural materialist methodology, I’m particularly interested in cultural resistance and how narratives help shape these variant forms of resistance.
I have a PhD in English from Aalborg University, Denmark. My dissertation, titled New Mappings: The Cultural Dissemination of Science Fiction in Postmodern Culture, focussed on how the convergence between science fiction, experimental literature and culture, and how these cultural flows represent a symptom of a distinct time-space compression. Working within a cultural materialist framework, I develop a critical tool which distinguishes between oppositional counter-texts and dominant, mainstream texts along the lines of detourning or recuperative strategies; a vocabulary based on the Situationists and the work of Dick Hebdige.
