Curriculum Vitae

Carsten Storm studied Sinology, German Studies, and Philosophy at the University of Cologne, receiving his MA in 1993. His PhD dissertation (University of Cologne, 2004) focused on the mentality of law in Chinese crime stories (gongan xiaoshuo 公案小說) during the period 1600-1900. He received his habilitation (PD) from Ruhr-University Bochum in October 2008 with a study entitled “The Imagination of History: Historicity, Resistance, and Identity in Chinese Historical Novels.” His research interests are Chinese literature, film, and philosophy from the Song-Dynasty up to postmodern China and Taiwan, the construction of identities and meaning, and historicity, and mentalities, as well as issues of narrative patterns and techniques and literary theory. He has held several positions as (senior) lecturer, visiting professor and, more recently, professor at the Institute of Sinology at Erlangen.
