Anna [Anouk] Luhn
Early-Career Fellow 2025–2026

Anna [Anouk] Luhn is a literary scholar with a focus on language and the diverse power structures that surround it. Drawn to formats of multidisciplinary knowledge work at the intersection of academia and the cultural sphere, her research focuses on how imaginaries, environments, and technologies shape our practical and conceptual access to language, and how literary communication—including so-called ‘secondary’ practices of poetic production such as editing, layout, and print—participates in processes that transform the social, political, and cultural realms.

Anouk received her PhD in 2020 from Freie Universität Berlin (DE), where she examined the omnipresence of acrobatic forms and subjects in European modernist and avant-garde literature. As a postdoctoral researcher at the DFG-funded Cluster of Excellence “Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective,” she worked on experimental concepts of translation and literariness in the digital paradigm and co-conceived the cluster’s hub for collaborative and transdisciplinary formats. She is a co-founding editor of the con·stel·la·tions publication series (Textem Verlag).
