One research focus of Joseph Vogl is on the "Poetologies of knowledge" - the interweaving of knowledge and literature. Other priorities include the history and theory of knowledge, the history of risk and danger in the modern era, and the discourse, media theory and literary history from 18th to 20th century. [1]
Vogl's work is in the tradition of the post-structuralist philosophy. He is the translator of key works of modern French philosophy such as Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition and Jean-François Lyotard's The Differend.
In his 2010 published work Das Gespenst des Kapitals ("The Specter of Capital") Vogl coined the term "Oikodizee", calling for a demystification of traditional conception of financial markets. The powerful faith in the invisible hand of the market in the tradition of Adam Smith "ignores the secularised theodicy the irrational" and the "diabolical dynamics unleashed by money economy. [2]
For his book Der Souveränitätseffekt ("The Sovereignty Effect") Vogl was on the shortlist for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize 2015 in the category of non-fiction. [3]
