Gustav Graeser Damgaard is a Researcher at the Section of Systematic Theology, Faculty of Theology, University of Copenhagen. His work bridges theological inquiry with philosophical and psychoanalytic frameworks, focusing on Lutheran traditions and contemporary critical theory. His core research spans Systematic Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Psychoanalysis, Hermeneutics, Lutheran Theology, and Literary Theory. Current work centers on the PhD project "Sola Scriptura Revisited," which critiques the historical Protestant prioritization of spoken word ( solo verbo ) over scripture's material dimensions. By reinterpreting Luther's texts through Derrida's philosophy of writing, he develops a hermeneutic model integrating medial, textual, and material aspects of scripture. Analysis of his 2021-2024 publications reveals consistent interdisciplinary engagement: Freud and Derrida inform messianic archive studies; Lacan's theories frame sexuation theology; Hegel's concepts interrogate communicative freedom; and Pasolini's cinema explores sublimation ethics. Recurring themes include translation betrayal, poetic theology, and paradoxical wisdom in Reformation thought, demonstrating rigorous synthesis across theology, philosophy, and cultural theory.
