His interests led increasingly towards cultural studies. He has published from this perspective on methodology and on Heiner M\u00fcller and the GDR. Throughout, he has worked on postmodernism and the relations between philosophy and literature. Regarding postmodernism, he has published on architecture, literature, theory, and the difficulties of the postmodern forest; regarding philosophy, he has published on Hegel, Nietzsche, and Richard Rorty. Taubeneck argues for an interdisciplinary concept of aesthetic experience that cuts across traditional conceptual distinctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Selected publications:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #222222;\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNature, Postmodernity, and German Studies: The Case of Clayoquot Sound,\u201d in<em>Germanics Under Construction, Intercultural and Interdisciplinary Prospects<\/em>, eds.
