Andreas Tranvik is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at the Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University. His research is primarily focused on literature as it relates to intellectual history and the history of knowledge. Currently, he is working on a research project about the 18th-century Danish-Norwegian playwright Ludvig Holberg. In addition to this ongoing project, Tranvik has published articles about, e.g., epistemological themes in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, social scientific discourse in works by August Strindberg, the foundations of literary study and the historicity of disciplinarity, and historical ignorance as a literary idea.
Tranvik is an associate researcher at Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK) and a member of the research group Thinking the European Republic of Letters within Centre for Modern European Studies – An Öresund Network of Lund University, Malmö University and the University of Copenhagen (CEMES).
