Anna Kornbluh

Anna Kornbluh’s research and teaching interests center on Victorian literature and Critical Theory. She is the author of Realizing Capital: Financial and Psychic Economies in Victorian Form, which studies the emergent trope of “psychic economy” in the period of financialization. Kornbluh is currently at work on The Order of Forms, which explores conjunctures of novels by Bronte, Hardy, Dickens, and Carroll and the nineteenth-century advent of mathematical formalism (Set Theory, Non-Euclidean Geometry, Symbolic Logic) in order to intervene in ongoing debates between psycho-marxism and the biopolitical paradigm over the processes and possibilities of social formalization.
