Dr Arnds is the author of 4 academic monographs, with his most recent book published in 2021 in paperback and hardback by the US division of Bloomsbury. He is the sole-editor of two academic volumes, has published over 60 journal articles and book chapters, and his translation of the novel "Rapids" was long-listed for the 2016 International Dublin Literary Award. Dr Arnds works across a wide selection of fields including Comparative Literature, German Studies, Italian Studies, the Environmental Humanities and Literary Translation. He is internationally recognised for his scholarship on the Nobel Laureate Günter Grass and for his work on race, genocide, trauma, and representations of the Third Reich in literature, culture, and translation. His 2021 monograph, entitled 'Wolves at the Door: Migration, Dehumanization, Rewilding the World,' was named in an Amazon list of top-10 new releases in the Environmental Humanities in January of last year. The book is a comparative study that engages a reading of the metaphors of dehumanization and racialization that lie at the intersection of political rhetoric, ecocriticism, and world literature. The monograph examines how the metaphorical representation of a species can aid or prevent its extinction, while also studying how the politics of rewilding (the reintroduction of species to a region) interacts with biodiversity, cultural diversity and cultural production. Published in the Studies in Modern European Literature series with Palgrave Macmillan, his third monograph was published in late 2015, entitled 'Lycanthropy in German Literature.' The book is an interdisciplinary project at the interstices of literature, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology and includes literary texts from Icelandic saga through the picaresque genre, romanticism, realism, and the twentieth century. Dr Arnds has also produced two works of creative arts practice, including a novel "Searching for Alice" which was published by Dalkey Archive Press, one of the most influential publishers of translated literature and the recipient of a National Book Critics Circle award. In 2014 Red Fox Press published his self-illustrated poetry chapbook of work created during his appointment as the Writer-in-Residence at the Heinrich Böll Cottage on Achill Island, funded in part by the Irish Research Council. Dr Arnds currently serves on several funded global research networks including Challenging Precarity: A Global Network and Narratives of Resilience, working together with scholars in India, the UK, Spain, Italy, Poland, Germany, the US, Australia, and Canada. He is the Faculty Mentor to the Trinity Journal of Literary Translation and has served as the Director of Trinity College's postgraduate programme in Comparative Literature since 2009.

  Myth Matters: Representation of Trauma and Political Violence in World Literature
  Summary

  This project examines the uses of myth and metaphor in world literature for the representation of trauma arising from political violence and human rights violations. It is aimed at both a multidisciplinary academic and a wider public audience and examines how myths and their biological metaphors in different cultures impact the biopolitical treatment of humans and the artistic representation of such treatment.

  Translating Myth over Time: The Nation, War, Trauma
  Summary

  This project explores comparatively how myths are used and misused in a collective nationalist context, in Europe and also beyond. We will examine how myths are being constructed at times of heightened nationalist pressure, how they keep shaping literary genres such as satire to offer a liberating valve to such pressures, and how the return of myth can aid in coming to terms with individual and collective trauma. The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9 AD), for example, where Roman forces were defeated by the Germanic tribes, returns as a national myth in Germany during the Napoleonic invasions as it does during the Third Reich. Under National Socialism many myths of Germanic origin were misused and ideologically abused - the myth of Wotan, the God of storm and war, or by Hitler appropriating for himself the ancient Germanic myth of the wolf man in the final days of the war. In literature after 1945 satires then liberate myth from its earlier political abuse but also take on the rationalist climate of the Adenauer period. On the other hand, mythological themes such as the descent into the underworld or the transformation of humans into animals abound in literary texts as a form of representation of totalitarian and colonial violence. We see this at work, for example, in Primo Levi's "If This is a Man" (1949), where the presence of myth is deeply connected to the potential loss of humanity but also helps Levi find a voice in the face of unspeakable atrocities. How does this mythical landscape in politics and culture map out in other countries around the world? How does myth influence literary genre, especially satire, in its reaction to terror? How are myths manipulated politically and liberated by art and literature? How do they aid victims of terror regimes and political violence in giving testimony?

  Migration, Myth, Metaphor: The Cultural Politics of the Wolf as Predator and Prey
  Summary

  ERC Advanced Grant application. The overarching goal of this research project is to explore the ways in which the wolf has been exploited as a metaphor in the context of migration, with a focus on informing scholars, students, and the general public about the use of dehumanizing metaphors for people outlawed, exiled, and abjected to the level of animals considered dangerous, parasitic, and untrustworthy, an amalgamation that perpetuates the perception of refugees and other immigrants as 'alien' and other. Through the detailed analysis of the cultural history of deeply rooted phobias that tie the wolf to the perception of migration this research project seeks to reach a better understanding of the shared history of wolves and migrants in order to dismantle prejudices and fears, improve conditions for both, and open up new avenues for the field of migration studies.

  Myth, Nationalism and Migration
  Summary

  This project studies how myths are being deployed in the rhetoric of new nationalist movements in Europe, Australia, and the US, particularly in relation to recent mass migrations. The aim of the project is to understand how sedentary European cultures employ traditional myths in literature and translate them into political contexts to cement new forms of group identification, often involving the demonization of others. Conversely, this study will also seek to shed light on how those in abject situations are generating new forms of empowerment through myth. The project will analyse contemporary scenarios in which myth plays a central role in the practice of reducing humans to the level of animals, and how literary motifs drawn from myth and folklore are used by political movements in acts of dehumanization involving the devaluation and ultimate destruction of the individual's humanity. The biopolitical tactic of reducing humans to the level of animals is a global phenomenon, with the language of racism teeming with animal metaphors.To arrive at a better understanding of the biopolitics involved in the contemporary migrant situation, this project will analyse how these metaphors, are viewed in sedentary versus indigenous cultures.

  Reassessing Satire in the Age of Terror
  Summary

  In light of attacks on satirists in France and Denmark and the persecution of authors writing satirical novels, this project addressed the pressing need for a reassessment of the history and values of the genre of satire in world literature. The aim of this research is to highlight the liberating potential of satire as a tool that unites humanity rather than dividing it, especially due to the universal aspects of satire with its recourse to mythological archetypes, humour, the grotesque, hyperbole and exaggeration.
