Dr Ruprecht's research is situated at the intersection of literature, dance, film and cultural theory. She has published on authors such as Kleist, Hoffmann, Heine, Gautier, Mallarmé, Robert Walser, and W.G. Sebald; on dancers such as Mary Wigman and Vaslav Nijinsky; and on Weimar film. Her book
Dances of the Self in Heinrich von Kleist, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Heinrich Heine (2006) won a Special Citation for the 2007 de la Torre Bueno Prize. She is co-editor of
Performance and Performativity in German Cultural Studies (2003),
Cultural Pleasure (2009), and
New German Dance Studies (2011). Her current project, carried out from 2005 to 2010 in collaboration with the research centre
Kulturen des Performativen at the Free University Berlin, deals with charisma and virtuosity as key terms of an aesthetic of performance around 1900.
