معرفی
Konstantin Mierau is a researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Arts, affiliated with the Research Centre Arts in Society (AiS). His work focuses on cultural marginalization, early modern literature, and transdisciplinary studies of social exclusion.
- Key Themes: Cultural Marginalization, Picaresque Novels, Biopolitics
- Collaborations: Regularly co-authors with scholars in Latin America (Chile, Colombia) on prison studies and identity.
Recent publications explore indigenous marginalization in Chile, media consumption in prisons, and transdisciplinary frameworks for cultural ecosystems. His 2025 article on Mapuche ethnicity and crime perception underscores ongoing contributions to social justice discourse.
Mierau's research traverses historical and contemporary contexts, balancing literary analysis (Cervantes, Don Quixote) with empirical studies (prison media practices, biopolitics of incarceration). This dual approach bridges literary theory, urban history, and social policy.
He has supervised transdisciplinary projects including:
- Prison Letter Analysis (2023)
- Biopolitics of COVID-19 in Chilean Prisons (2021)
- Media Consumption Behind Bars (2018)
Mierau contributes to transdisciplinary research through editorial roles in the Horizontes Convergentes series (2021-2022) and collaborative chapters in European and Latin American publications.
