Maye Christian Harun

Maye Christian Harun serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Media Studies within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Based at Holbeinstrasse 12 in Basel, Harun maintains an active research profile spanning media studies, literature, and cultural analysis.

Harun's research interests focus on the intersection of literary traditions and contemporary media forms. Specializing in poetry performance, German Romantic literature, and horror genre adaptations, their work examines how classical texts are reinterpreted through modern media frameworks. Particular attention is given to vocal delivery in poetry readings, emotional impact of illustrated literary works, and transmedia adaptations of horror literature.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise across diverse media contexts, analyzing Thomas Kling's poetry performances, illustrated editions of Goethe's Werther, and Lovecraftian horror in role-playing games. This multidisciplinary approach bridges traditional literary scholarship with contemporary media studies concerns.

Harun maintains professional engagement through the University of Basel's academic channels, contributing to the Department of Media Studies' scholarly output while connecting literary traditions with evolving media landscapes.
