The Unwritten Sylvia Plath Biographies
Sylvia Plath’s belonging to the literary modernist canon turns the issue of her biographical iconography into a problematic matter, as late modernist critical directions considered biography a flawed concept and practice with a poor reflective capacity. Moreover, the first generation of prospective Plath biographers abandoned their projects at various stages in their progress, leaving a consistent amount of archival material that needs re-explora…
Feminist Digital Humanities and the Harriet Rosenstein Sylvia Plath Archive
The paper focuses on reinterpreting the Harriet Rosenstein archive, containing a vast amount of previously unavailable materials concerning Sylvia Plath, as a source of feminist literary recovery. It also investigates the digitization of this archive in the larger context of a digital turn in Plath studies, and a potential connection with feminist digital humanities. The archive contains a vast number of Sylvia Plath-related documents that have b…
Reimagining Centrality in Cătălin Dorian Florescu’s Short Stories
Cătălin Dorian Florescu’s main tropes had been traditionally confined to the stylistic regime of the novel until 2017, when he opted for a short stories format in his volume Der Nabel der Welt. My paper will investigate the themes and dynamics of Florescu’s dialect of displacement, cultural transfer and the search for a homeland in this collection of short stories, while also paying close attention to the framework of diasporic identity as it was…
A Way of No Return
In this paper I shall explore one of Herta Müller’s cardinal tropes, the collective imaginary project of fleeing communist Romania, of massive influence in her novels and biography. Novels such as The Land of Green Plums (1984), The Passport (1986) and Travelling on One Leg (1989) shape a complex perspective on one of the most intense collective desires of Romanians during communism – fleeing the country
The Fantasy of Youth in Philip Roth's Later Novels
I intend to explore Philip Roth’s strategy of affirming youth as core value among his major themes revealing the experience of aging, illness and loss by revealing its particular framing in the novels of his later work. I shall analyze the contexts that connect youth to vitality and survival, revisiting some key moments in the long imaginary biographies of his notorious characters David Kepesh and Nathan Zuckerman. Although central in Roth’s work…

Power and Ridicule – Elena CeauȘescu in Communist Humour
Although one of the most influential figures of Romanian Communism, Elena Ceaușescu has been the subject of a rather limited literature exploring her historical figure. I intend to revisit the political humour of Romanian communism in order to reveal the manners and strategies employed by this type of folklore in affirming the hyperbolized clichés that defined the dictator’s wife in the public mind of that age. I also intend to bring into discuss…
