Cedric Weidmann is a writer from Switzerland. He is the editor of a literary magazine called delirium which juxtaposes literature and critique and ventures in collective writing.
Since 2022 he is head of the Aargauer Literaturhaus, an all-year venue for literary encounters, workshops and writers in residence, hosting over 70 events and 1500 visitors per year. He proposed a digital future strategy and co-founded the „Topshelf Night“, the biggest BookTok-festival in Switzerland on top of castle Lenzburg.
As a scholar in literature and cultural studies at the ETH Zurich, he has written on nostalgia and science fiction, on logistics and literature, on economics and aliens, and currently on hypersensitivity. The essay «Antizipation der Nostalgie» based on his PhD thesis has been published with open access and in print by Verbrecher Verlag in 2025.
He has written poetic and fictional documentations for a technology forecast, a ‹utopian lab› and a big architectural practice and has taught creative writing at universities (ETH, University of Zurich and School of Applied Linguistics), with a special focus on writing for researchers, translators and on practices of collectives and collaboration. Mainly writing in German, he has just started written in English (e.g. Charm School).
There is always a side-project that temporarily catches his interest like the one-sentence reviews which you can hand in on this website and order in print.
You can hire Cedric for writing workshops, to optimize co-creativity processes, for forecast and trend analysis, or as an experienced moderator.
