Short Biography
Felix Bohlen's interests lie not only in the history of ancient China but also in historical narratology. He focuses on the literary motif of criticism of rulers in early texts, especially as depicted in narrative texts. He also deals with the epigraphy of the Shang and Western Zhou period as well as the conceptual history and word field analysis of Power and Rulership.
He is an employee in subproject 16 of the Collaborative Research Center 1167 "Power and Rulership – Pre-modern Configurations in Transcultural Perspective" (Bonn, DFG-funded).
