Research interests:
My research interests include:
Bodily economics and sensation in Dickens’s work
Excess, obsession and extravagance (bodily and economic) associated with consumption and desire
The cultural spaces of fetishism – the market place, the home
The reification of social relationships and the extent to which the mouth and metaphors of the mouth facilitate those networks
How the mouth acts as a mediator that shapes culture
How consuming practices are shaped by spectacle and the lure of the fetish
How loss and the traumatic event can precipitate fetishization in Dickens
How concepts of incorporation and merging are entangled with fetishism
How fetishism functions as ironic critique
