Affiliation: Assistant Professor of German Studies at Dartmouth College
Meryem Deniz’s research focuses on German Romanticism and contemporary transnational literature at the intersection of material and environmental thinking. Her current book project, The Fluid Effect: Materiality, Agency, and Environment in German Romanticism, explores how literary and scientific experiments with fluidity around 1800 shaped theories of matter, mind, and poetry and foregrounded the idea of reciprocity in human-nonhuman relationships. She previously published on Lessing, Jean Paul, Novalis, and the contemporary reception of Sophocles’ Antigone; her “review article” on the recent Romantic scholarship will appear in Monatshefte (2025).
