Dr. Karin Krauthausen
Karin Krauthausen is a literary and cultural scholar with a focus on epistemological questions. After completing her doctorate on »Drawing and Seeing in the works of Paul Valéry«, she was a fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin for several years before taking over the coordination of the PhD-Net »The Knowledge of Literature« at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2011 and moving to the Cluster of Excellence »Image Knowledge Gestaltung« from 2013 on until 2018.
There she did research in model theory as well as in Science of Structures, and together with Peter Fratzl, Michael Friedman and Wolfgang Schäffner, she headed the priority area »Active Matter«.
At »Matters of Activity« she is postdoctoral Research Associate in the project Weaving, working on the understanding of ›tissue‹, ›texture‹ and ›entanglement‹ in biology, mathematics and design as well as in linguistics and literature (›text‹/›texture‹).
