معرفی
Fredrik Renard is a Researcher at Stockholm University’s Department of Slavic and Baltic Studies, Finnish, Dutch, and German. He holds a postdoctoral fellowship in German and Comparative Literature with a PhD from Stockholm University and Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen. His work focuses on historical narratology, genre theory, and modernism in European literature, particularly the novel’s evolution from the 18th to 20th centuries. He co-founded the research group Narratio and is affiliated with Forum Modernism, exploring modernism’s diverse expressions.
Renard’s research emphasizes the novel’s role in theorizing modernity, as seen in his dissertation Arbeit am Zufall (2021), which won a Lundberg Foundation scholarship. His current project, The Narrative Forms of Experience, funded by the Swedish Research Council, examines modern European novels through Walter Benjamin and Monika Fludernik’s theories. He collaborated with Stefano Ercolino at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice (2022–2023).
His publications span peer-reviewed articles, reviews, and a monograph, addressing themes like narrative structure, genre hybridity, and modernist form. Awards include the Lundberg Foundation scholarship. Renard’s interdisciplinary approach bridges literary analysis with broader cultural and philosophical inquiries.
