Martin Lindner

Martin Lindner is a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, Brasenose College. His research interests lie in the intersection between Postcolonial Studies, Narratology and German and Austrian literature in the 19th and early 20th century.

As and AHRC and Clarendon scholar, Martin’s doctoral research focuses on colonialist discourses in Germanophone literature and culture from around the end of the Habsburg Empire. Supervised by Prof. Carolin Duttlinger, his project will examine the specific role of narrative form in expressing or challenging colonialist power structures within Central Europe. Martin’s project will also explore to what extent aesthetics of similarity existed in this context, and in how analysing such aesthetics can serve as a productive paradigm extension for postcolonial narrative research.

Martin holds an MPhil from Cambridge and gained two years of professional experience in the International Education Division of Oxford University Press before starting his doctorate studies.
