Erella Brown鈥檚 work focuses on the interaction of psychoanalysis, literature, and feminism in theatre. In this area her articles deal with effective poetic use of psycho-linguistic models such as the 鈥渉ysteric stage鈥� of feminist playwright Helene Cixous; or the uncanny and its twists of interpretation in E.T.A. Hoffmann, Heinrich Von Kleist, and S. Y. Agnon. Since completing her dissertation on 鈥淎llegory and Irony in the Satirical Work of Hanoch Levin,鈥� Brown continues to publish on contemporary Israeli literature and culture. Her work highlights borders and borderlines situations and developments in Israel鈥檚 society as a means to critique Israeli ideological dilemmas.
