The Philosophical Openings of the Street
The Philosophical Openings of the Street

Summary/Abstract: The book ”Strada. Loc de trece și petrecere” (The Street. Passage and Timepass) is intended as an essay stemming from a sociological perspective on this space at all crossroads and confluences, i.e. the street. Actually, this booklet is more than that, it is a readers' blast. The author, Monica Săvulescu-Voudouri, is a gifted prose-writer, a poet, a doctor in philosophy, a theatre critic and a full-time sociologist. One can never look at the street in the same manner before and after reading Săvulescu Voudouri’s book, as it has the quality of mirroring all visible and visible structures related to the street. Imagination, writing style vivacity, metaphysical questions, openings of the self through memory, exile reconstructions, imaginative recollections of great fictional characters map together the urban spectacle, creating a palimpsest where the self and the world are intimately engraved on each other.
