Research and Teaching Profile

Martin Klebes is Department Head of the Department of German & Scandinavian. He is Associate Professor of German and also the Editor of the electronic interdisciplary German Studies journal Konturen that is housed in the department. He received his Ph.D. in Comparative Literary Studies in 2003 from Northwestern University. He taught at Kenyon College and at the University of New Mexico before coming to Oregon in 2007.

Martin is the author of Wittgenstein’s Novels (Routledge, 2006; paperback released in 2012), and translator of Ernst-Wilhelm Händler’s debut collection of stories, City with Houses (Northwestern University Press, 2002). He also translated several chapters in a collection of writings by Hannah Arendt, entitled Reflections on Literature and Culture (Stanford University Press, 2007). Recent publications include articles on Hermann Broch and on Hannah Arendt’s theory of active reading.

Martin’s research focuses on the interrelation between literary and philosophical texts from the Enlightenment to the present, with particular emphasis on the German tradition. He is currently working on a book about dialogue as a medium in modern literature, philosophy, and culture.
