During his time at KWI, Florian Fuchs will work on a project entitled “The Visual Afterlife of Theory – Harun Farocki’s Procedures”. While Kasey Henricks is at KWI, he will further develop his second book project tentatively titled “Chicago on the Take: Ticketing and Towing in the City of Collision”. Gregory Jones-Katz will concentrate on his new book project, “Globalizing American Theory: The Cultural Politics of the Academic Left and the Neoliberal University”. Weronika Kobylińska will focus on artistic narratives – such as soundwalkings and sonic art – created in dialogue with the Ruhr’s soundscapes during her fellowship. Nisha Kommattam will devote her time to the completion of a book manuscript titled “The Public Secret, a monograph focusing on narratives of queerness and trauma in South India”. Irit Kornblit will spend her time at KWI undertaking a conceptual history of “cultural diversity”. Tilo Reifenstein’s work during his fellowship will aim to characterise art-history writing as an epistemic practice that is necessarily literary. Avril Tynan will pursue a monograph on the role of dementia in contemporary French literature. As new Thyssen@KWI Fellow, Kathrin Yacavone will begin work on a new project on ‘Forms and Formats of Photography’s Cultural Institutionalisation’.
