Mirt Komel Explained

Mirt Komel (born 21 August 1980) is a Slovenian philosopher, novelist, sociologist, playwright, essayist and translator.[1] [2]

Komel is currently employed as assistant professor in philosophy at the University of Ljubljana (Faculty of Social Sciences, Department and Chair of Cultural Studies) and researcher at the Center of Cultural and Religious Studies (University of Ljubljana, Institute for Social Sciences).

He has published numerous scientific texts in political theory, social anthropology, and theoretical psychoanalysis in international and Slovenian scholarly journals (e.g. Problems, Journal for the Critique of Science), as well as several scientific monographs. Three of them (Attempt of a Touch/Poskus nekega dotika, 2008, Discourse and Violence/Diskurz in nasilje, 2012, Socratic Touches/Sokratski dotiki, 2015) hinge on the main axis of his research: an attempt at a philosophical reconceptualization of touch and tactility informed with insights from the contemporary humanities and social sciences.[3]

Komel is also a writer of prose, plays, and essays. His essayistic contributions appear in Mladina, Delo, Mediawatch, and Tribuna.[4]

He is an active participant of many civil initiatives and movements. He is co-founder and active member of the International Hegelian Society Aufhebung.[5] He is also co-founder of the Society of Humanists of Goriška (Društvo humanistov Goriške),[6] [7] co-founder (and vice-president in 2006–2009) of the Youth Club of the Society of Slovenian Writers (Društvo slovenskih pisateljev),[8] co-founder (and member in 2010–2013) of the Likej Association.[9]
