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.
