Eva von Redecker is a critical theorist and public philosopher writing about social change, moral judgement, modern property, and sometimes even life and death. Eva holds a Marie-Skłodowska-Curie-fellowship at the University of Verona, where she pursues a research project on authoritarianism (PhantomAiD). Previously, she has worked as research associate at Humboldt-University, Berlin (2009 to 2019) and acted as deputy director of the Berlin Center for Humanities and Social Change. Eva’s latest book, Praxis and Revolution (Campus 2018/Columbia UP 2021) proposes an interstitial model of radical change; its general-audience sequel Revolution für das Leben (S.Fischer 2020) applies this model to a critique of capitalist devastation in light of contemporary social movements.
