Dr. Björn Weyand is a literary and cultural scholar and lives in Nuremberg. He has been republishing Edmund Edel's literary work at Quintus Verlag since 2022. Previously, in his doctoral thesis “Poetik der Marke. Konsumkultur und literarische Verfahren 1900-2000” (Berlin/Boston 2013), he examined Edel's satire "Berlin W." and analyzed it - alongside Thomas Mann's "Zauberberg" and Irmgard Keun's "Das kunstseidene Mädchen", among others - against the backdrop of modern consumer culture. He is currently working on his habilitation project "Reisen durch die Ordnungen des Wissens", which is dedicated to the production of knowledge in literary travelogues from Adam Olearius to Christian Kracht.
