I have published books and articles on ancient Greek and Latin literature, their diction, poetics, philosophy and politics, on the relations between form, content, change and continuity. I write and lecture about antiquity as well as on many aspects of the reception of antiquity in contemporary literature and philosophy. I have longstanding research and publication interests in Hebrew and Jewish culture and literature, in anthropology, visual arts, including modern art, in sociology, especially the sociology of education, in continental thought and its relation to antiquity, in post-human studies, new materialisms and more.
