معرفی
Stephen Thomson is a Lecturer in the Department of English Literature at the University of Reading, part of the School of Humanities. His work explores how agency and responsibility intersect with literary form and aesthetics, with a focus on 19th-century literature, W.G. Sebald, and comparative European texts. He teaches courses in 19th-Century American Literature, Modern Poetry and Fiction, Literary Theory, and Film. Thomson's research is interdisciplinary, bridging literature with physiology and social sciences. His publications analyze sleepwalking as a metaphor for agency and modernity, including critical essays on Beckett, Eliot, and Apollinaire.
He has supervised three PhD theses to completion and mentors students in modernity, politics, and agency in 19th/20th-century literature, especially with a comparative lens. His articles often engage with Derrida's deconstructive philosophy and European intellectual history. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, though his contributions to literary theory are notable. He is affiliated with the University of Reading and has no listed labs or teams beyond his departmental role.
