معرفی
Dr. Stephan Lesker is a Researcher at the Institute for German Studies within the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Rostock, serving as a research and teaching assistant to Prof. Dr. Lutz Hagestedt at the Chair of Modern and Contemporary Literature since April 2015.
His educational background includes:
- Bachelor of Arts in German and Philosophy, University of Rostock (2005-2008), thesis on narrative aspects in Edgar Hilsenrath's Jossel Wassermann's Homecoming
- Master of Arts in German and Linguistic Communication/Communication Disorders, University of Rostock (2011), thesis on crisis experiences in Hermann Hesse and Ernst Jünger
Dr. Lesker's research centers on 20th-century German literature with specialized focus on narrative theory, media staging and simulation (particularly in Rainald Goetz and Walter Kempowski), and the complex interplay between autobiography and fiction. His scholarly approach examines how literary texts negotiate historical representation and personal narrative boundaries through theoretical frameworks of simulation and mediality.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals sustained engagement with German literary figures Matthias Claudius and Walter Kempowski, exploring themes of intellectual history, travel literature, and the tension between factual and fictional elements. His editorial work on the Kempowski Yearbook and contributions to Claudius scholarship demonstrate methodological consistency in examining autobiographical impulses within literary production.
