Research details
Vincent's research is centered on the development of the concept of catastrope in European political thought from the late nineteenth to the mid twentieth centuries, focusing in particular on the work of Georges Sorel, F. T. Marinetti, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno, with a view to contributing to a contemporary political theory of catastrophe. His primary interest is in modernism and radicalism in continental political philosophy.
Vincent has also written on subjects in modern East Asian politics, including developmentalist political thought in South Korea and the democratisation movement in Hong Kong, and he is currently exploring radical political thought in early twentieth-century Japan.
