Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the scholarly traits of Marjorie Garber (b. 1944) and introduces her key works. It focuses on the methodological aspects of her position in cultural studies, feminism, and new historicism, and also considers the assumptions of these humanities in their correspondences and conflicts. The cornerstones of the analysis turn out to be the possibility of an alliance between psychoanalytical and deconstructivist starting points and Garber’s conceptions of history, transhistoricity, and quotability.
