Ph.D Student Contact maxwenzel.weber@mail.utoronto.ca    Office Hours Fall 2025: Tuesday 2-4pm   Background MA (2024) in German Literature, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin MSt (2022) in Modern Languages (German), University of Oxford BA (2020) in German Philology and Philosophy, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen Research Interests In my MA thesis – “Ich bin schon jetzt nur noch eine dünne Haut…”: Erdsystem und Literatur in Marlen Haushofer’s Die Wand” – I explore the ways in which literature can intertwine with the earthsystem. I conclude that any translation of the earthsystem’s processes into literature remains futile, but nevertheless the translation of the untranslatable becomes necessary both to develop a form of modesty towards our environment and to enable any future engagement between literature and the earthsystem. My current research interests involve the so-called Anthropocene, Gaia-theory, cybernetics and literary imaginations of the future.
