Dr. Benjamin Dinkel serves as a Lecturer in the Department of German Linguistics and Literature at the University of Basel, Switzerland, within the Faculty of Humanities. His academic work bridges literary scholarship and film studies with particular focus on German authors.
His educational background includes:
- Bachelor's and Master's studies in German Philology and History at the University of Basel (2012-2018)
Dr. Dinkel's research centers on intermedial approaches examining film-literature relationships, power dynamics, and violence in literary contexts, with special expertise in Heinrich von Kleist and Adalbert Stifter scholarship. His work investigates how admiration, astonishment, and surprise function within knowledge, power, and artistic discourses.
His scholarly contributions include multiple book reviews published in Germanistik – Internationales Referentenorgan mit Bibliographisches Referenz, focusing on Stifter scholarship and Kleist studies. Currently completing his doctoral dissertation on "(Mis-)leadership and gentle violence in Adalbert Stifter" as part of the SNF-Sinergia project "The Power of Wonder" under Prof. Dr. Nicola Gess, his academic trajectory demonstrates consistent specialization in German literary studies with interdisciplinary methodological approaches.
