Albrecht Koschorke is Professor of Modern German Literature and Comparative Literature at the University of Constance. His groundbreaking study on 18th-century writing, communication and the body changed the scope of German Studies, playing a decisive role in recent movements toward media studies and poetics of knowledge (Körperströme und Schriftverkehr: Mediologie des 18. Jahrhunderts, Fink 1999). Recent books include Wahrheit und Erfindung: Grundzüge einer allgemeinen Erzähltheorie (Fischer, 2013) and Hegel und wir: Frankfurter Adorno-Vorlesungen (Suhrkamp, 2015). Professor Koschorke has been widely recognized for his award-winning work in the fields of mediology, cultural semiotics and narrative theory.
