Autorinformation
Dr. David Alexander Johnson Cruickshank is an independent scholar who received his PhD from King’s College London in 2020, following an Oxford MSt and a BA at Queen Mary. His research promotes modernist bodies as a way to understand how colonial capitalism exploits our personal identity, converting socio-economic forces into horrible transformations of human into object, both for modernists then, and for our own modern moment.
