Palindromitis: Reversibility, Undoing, and the Time of Language

Jonas Rosenbrück is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University. His current monograph project, titled A Revolution of the Senses: Odor and Modern Poetry, investigates the sensory logic of smell as it asserts itself against the deodorizing tendency of modernity. Recent articles have appeared in Comparative Literature (“Toward an Aesthetics of Obscurity: From Baumgarten to Blanchot”) and The Germanic Review. Rosenbrück also serves as the Director of Volunteer Development for the Northwestern Prison Education Program.
