Biography
Boris Gunjević is a Senior Tutor in Philosophy of Religion and Christian Doctrine, Reformation Studies and Hermeneutics at Westfield House for Theological Studies, Cambridge, and a postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics (French Department) at the University of Cambridge. He received his PhD in 2012 from the Catholic Theological Faculty in Zagreb, Croatia. He was ordained in 1998. In December 2013 he was colloquized into the pastorate of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in England. From 2004 until 2013 he was an Assistant Professor at the Theological Faculty ‘Matthias Flacius Illyricus’, Zagreb. He lectured in History of Philosophy, Liturgical Studies and Political Theology.
Boris’ research interests are primarily in establishing relationships between an archaeology of spiritual exercises in everyday life, and mimetic theory and biopolitics. Other main areas of his research include a constructive metaphysical reading of the Bible and a critical inquiry into ‘small lights of grace’ in theology, philosophy and literature. Boris is currently working on a new project for which he is reflecting on forms of life and forms of discourse using the theoretical tools and concepts of Gilles Deleuze, Michel De Certeau and Giorgio Agamben.
