Stephan Braese

Stephan Braese is a full Professor at RWTH Aachen University, where he holds the Ludwig Strauss Professorship for European-Jewish Literature and Cultural History. His academic base is the Institute for Modern German Literature (Institut für Neuere Deutsche Literatur), though no specific school affiliation is explicitly mentioned. Braese's work focuses on the intersection of Jewish cultural heritage and German literary traditions, particularly examining post-Holocaust narratives and memory politics.

His research explores:

• European-Jewish literary traditions and linguistic identity
• Holocaust representation in postwar German literature
• Cultural memory and trauma studies
• Transnational literary exchanges
• German-Jewish intellectual history from Enlightenment to present
• Countercultural movements in postwar Germany
• Exile literature and displacement narratives

Braese's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on Jewish-German cultural dialogues, with articles spanning Holocaust memory studies, linguistic identity politics, and cultural representations of historical trauma. His 2023-2024 works frequently examine language as a site of cultural negotiation, postwar reconciliation challenges, and transnational artistic influences.
