Biographical note
Ewa Plonowska Ziarek is the Julian Park Professor of Comparative Literature at The State University of New York at Buffalo. Her long term research project -- conceived as a sequence of three books -- aims to reassess the contestations and contributions of feminism to the project of modernity. Devoted to the question of feminist ethics,
An Ethics of Dissensus: Feminism, Postmodernity, and the Politics of Radical Democracy (2001) is the first part of this trilogy. The second book in this series is
Feminist Aesthetics and the Politics of Modernism (2012), one of the first studies to combine an in-depth engagement with philosophical aesthetics with women’s literary modernism. Ziarek is also author of
The Rhetoric of Failure: Deconstruction of Skepticism, Reinvention of Modernism (1995), editor of
Gombrowicz's Grimaces: Modernism, Gender, Nationality (1998), and co-editor of
Revolt, Affect, Collectivity: The Unstable Boundaries of Kristeva's Polis (2005).
