Research Focus
Murawska's research explores intersections of phenomenology, aesthetics, and art theory, with emphasis on:
- French phenomenological traditions (Henry, Levinas, Merleau-Ponty)
- Ethical dimensions of art and intersubjectivity
- Post-phenomenological approaches to contemporary art
- Word-image dynamics in avant-garde practices
Publication Trends
Her recent works (2017-2024) demonstrate concentrated engagement with Levinasian ethics in art, Lyotard's postmodern aesthetics, and interdisciplinary phenomenology. Key thematic clusters include: phenomenological analyses of landscape and language (2024), Levinasian 'face' ethics and aesthetic turns (2022), post-human subjectivity in art (2021), and critiques of Lyotard's art negation (2017).
