Mohammad Javanmard

I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies. Focusing on world-literature and other forms of cultural productions, I read, think, and write about collective and political subjectivities that emerged in the course of the 21st century social eruptions across the globe, including the feminist movement in Latin America, the 2019 Chilean uprising, the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement, Black-Lives-Matters, and the 2022 Iranian uprising. In particular, I'm interested in the way these collective subjectivities, mostly connected to what I call death-frontiers of the capitalist world-system and the exclusion from wage labour, seem to, even if momentarily, show shared aspects that transcend the dominant massified/atomised subjectivity in contemporary globalised capitalism.
