Polyphonic (Auto)Biography Syndrome

An author attempts to find her Self through the prism of the opinions of others. About construction of biography/autobiography as a tool for understanding the Self and everyday practice. At the same time she tries to answer the questions of whether a biography can be treated as a fictional construction or could be understood as a learning process manifested as life a performative work. In short what is biography? And can writing a biography help us understand ourselves? In her work she presents various opinions and points of view obtained through interesting discussions with others - writers psychologists philosophers musicians poets filmmakers - in the form of e-mail exchanges never resorting to face-to-face conversations. This approach makes her work more remarkable not only from a psychological point of view but also a sociological one.
