  Article:   TOWARDS AN ETHICS OF CRITICAL DISCOURSE: IOANA EM. PETRESCU AND “RESPONSIBLE READING”.

Authors:  PETRONIA POPA PETRAR. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Towards an Ethics of Critical Discourse: Ioana Em. Petrescu and “Responsible Reading.” The present attempt to investigate the ethical prospects of criticism, as instantiated by the work of Ioana Em. Petrescu, starts from the definition suggested by Attridge (2004, 2015) for both the act of literary reception and its theory, revolving around the concepts of “hospitality” and “responsibility.” The ethical nature of such terms opens critical acts to radical alterity and subjects them to a kind of authority “other” than that of political regimes, which allows for a new placement of Ioana Em. Petrescu’s original input within its cultural and historical context.

Key words: ethics of criticism, responsibility, hospitality, event, alterity.
