Jensen Suther is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at Yale. Through a novel synthesis of Hegel and Marx, his first book project — Spirit Disfigured — argues that the modernist novel expresses the historical crisis of the idea of a free, self-determining subjectivity at the heart of modern thought and politics. His work has appeared in a range of academic and popular publications, including b2o: an online journal, Modernism/modernity, The Review of Metaphysics, Mediations, New Centennial Review, Radical Philosophy, and Telos.
