D J S Cross

Assistant Professor of Translation and Interim Graduate Director

D. J. S. Cross (Don) works on theories and practices of translation, comparative literature, and continental philosophy in Europe and the Americas. After earning his PhD in Comparative Literature from the University at Buffalo (2017), he spent three years as a FONDECYT Postdoctoral Fellow with the Instituto de Filosofía at the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Santiago, Chile. His first book, Deleuze and the Problem of Affect, was published by Edinburgh University Press in 2021, and his edited volume on the same theme – Deleuze and Affect – appeared with Edinburgh in 2026. He has translated works from French and Spanish by Marc Crépon, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Catherine Malabou, Pablo Oyarzun, and others. His current book project focuses upon the rehabilitation of “style” as an operator of difference in Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, and their literary and philosophical interlocutors.
