Böcker av Arleen Ionescu

Proposes new ways of 'thinking trauma', foregrounding the possibility of healing and the task that the critical humanities has to play in this healing. Where is its place in an increasingly terror-haunted world, where personal and collective trauma is as much of an everyday occurrence as it is incomprehensible?

This book is a detailed critical study of Libeskind's Berlin Jewish Museum in its historical, architectural and philosophical context. Ionescu also extends the Museum's experiential dimension by proposing her own subjective walk through Libeskind's space reimagined as a 'literary museum'.

This study makes Romania's largely unknown Joycean heritage visible to an international readership. Examining the shift from hostility to hospitality, it combines history of literature with critical theory and translation studies. It focuses on Joyce's critical reception, translation, and influence on Romanian literature from the inter-war period to the present.
