Janice Cheon is a PhD candidate in Germanic Languages & Literature and Film & Media Studies. Her dissertation project focuses on multimodal theories of scaling in the context of German-speaking literary, artistic, and scientific modernisms. Her previous academic work has dealt with a range of topics interrogating alternative, non-linear temporal theories and philosophies in 19th- and 20th-century German visual and literary culture, including the anachronisms of German Dada, issues of physiognomy in Weimar film culture, and the perceptual experiments of Ernst Mach's "instantaneous" photography.
