Profile

I am a PhD student with a primary interest in Philosophy of History, History of Historiography and Philosophy of Historiography. I am interested in how people form themselves through their narratives and traditions and create futures for themselves using history as a resource. I'm interested in looking at history as a battleground of ideas and interpretations and how the world has been assembled in time and in concept; who is left out and why they were left out. I am interested in "The exculded of History".

Research

My project is called "Emancipation of matter - An investigation into the Young Hegelian Historiography". Here I examine how the Young Hegelians used materialist metaphors to write stories about the subalterns of society. Be it women, proletarians and savages. This played together with their strategic use of anachronisms to find historical precedents for the revolution they desired.

I am interested in political theology and how it affects philosophical anthropology and history-writing. The question is how to give an adequate name to a hitherto overlooked group and how historiography contributes to giving content to subaltern groups.
