Bio:

Anke Finger's teaching and research interests include everyday culture and communication, literature and other arts, aesthetics, new media, and modernism. She is co-founder (with Rainer Guldin, Universitŕ della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano) and co-editor of _Flusser Studies_ (www.flusserstudies.net), an online journal focusing on media philosophy and cultural studies. She has authored a book on the total artwork and modernism, _Das Gesamtkunstwerk der Moderne_(2006), which is to be followed by a co-edited (with Danielle Follett) collection of critical essays entitled _The Aesthetics of the Total Artwork: On Borders and Fragments_, (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010). Current research projects include a book with Ralf B. Korte on a new theory of the avant-gardes; a monograph on memory, life writing, and the arts in the former GDR; and the English edition of an introduction to Vilém Flusser (University of Minnesota Press), already available in Portuguese and German.
