Available to hire
I am Udith Dematagoda, a UK-based academic and writer and the founder/publisher/Editor in Chief of Hyperidean Press. I split my time between the UK and continental Europe, focusing on modernist studies, editorial histories, and cross-cultural publishing.
My work spans academia, publishing, and editorial projects. I have published monographs and edited volumes, organised international conferences, and served on editorial boards. I am passionate about linking literary theory, ideological aesthetics, and technocultural contexts across global modernisms, with ongoing projects in Wyndham Lewis, Nabokov, and related areas.
