Irmtraud Huber has been an associated junior fellow of the Walter-Benjamin-Kolleg for several years. She is also a lecturer for English Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München where she has just completed her “habilitation”, with a project on poetic time and Victorian poetry. She is particularly interested in the question how aesthetic forms shape knowledge and condition thought, that is, how form mediates between materialities and subjectivities.
