Victorian literature and Critical Theory
|
Anna Kornbluh’s research and teaching interests center on Victorian literature and Critical Theory. She is the author of Realizing Capital: Financial and Psychic Economies in Victorian Form (Fordham UP 2013), which studies the emergent trope of “psychic economy” in the period of financialization, and she is currently at work on The Order of Forms, which explores conjunctures of novels by Bronte, Hardy, Dickens, and Carroll and the nineteenth-century advent of mathematical formalism (Set Theory, Non-Euclidean Geometry, Symbolic Logic) in order to intervene in ongoing debates between psycho-marxism and the biopolitical paradigm over the processes and possibilities of social formalization. Her courses for 2012 include Materialisms, a survey of British Literature, and Sex, Society, and Other Relations that do not exist, a graduate seminar in psychoanalysis and political theory. Around town, she coordinates InterCcECT, the Inter Chicago Circle for Experimental Critical Theory.
