Liviu Ciulei, Topic of Psyhcobiography

Summary/Abstract: As far as I remember, I believe that Ștefan Borbély, recently returned from an American-Japanese research fellowship in the early 1990s, introduced the concept of psychobiography into the pages of the Echinox magazine. It was therefore expected that the first brilliant application of this approach would come from Cluj, a city of scholars. In 2024, at Litera Publishing House, Anca Hațiegan published a psychobiography titled Ciulei și spectrul Tatălui (Ciulei and the Specter of the Father), which benefits from an admiring preface by none other than our expert in detective-like literary exegesis, the playful professor Ion Vartic. From his cover text, we learn that Anca Hațiegan debuted in 2019 with a “multi-award-winning book,” Dimineața actrițelor (The Actresses’ Morning), and now, once again, breaks new ground with a highly surprising and thought-provoking psychobiography dedicated to the actor, director, and set designer Liviu Ciulei.
