📚📚On the occasion of the publication of her latest book "The Eye of the Hippogriff", poet critical social psychologist and literary critic Maki Kostoula spoe to Reading Greece, among others, about the interrelation between poetry, psychology, discourse analysis and literary criticism".

""I think there is constant filtering and communication between psychology, discourse analysis, and literary criticism. What binds them are questions about critique itself – its forms, its limits, its performativity. I see the critical faculty as a continual exploration of reflexivity, a performative practice of transitions and dilemmas. The weaving together of the three – or rather four, if we add poetry – is activated through language use and through the shared understanding that language does things and is never neutral.

In the convergences of poetic and theoretical discourses, insights from social constructionism and discourse analysis traverse the various versions of myself. And although all these retain a fragmentariness that constantly escapes, the conversations between different discourses generate unpredictable shifts and open new possibilities for change — with a historicity that endures".
