Czy istnieje „profesjonalny” i „nieprofesjonalny” wymiar biografii? Rozważania na kanwie „Opowieści autobiograficznej” Michała Głowińskiego. Refleksja rozpisana na dwa głosy

Abstract

In this chapter (containing an analysis of the autobiographical novel “Kręgi obcości” (“Circles of Strangeness”) by Michał Głowiński) the authors put forward and defend a thesis that setting private biography against career biography should be considered an artificial divide. This interpretation has been done by two relatively autonomous voices – one having its roots in philosophy and the other coming from pedagogical ground. The philosophical narration is constructed within socio-hermeneutical ontology framework. Marcin Bogusławski adduces Jean-Paul Sartre’s classification in particular. His reflection is twopart. In the first, ontological one, he reconstructs the most vital threads appearing in Głowiński’s novel, whereas in the ontological part he draws a whole array of concepts (human-reality, beingin-the-situation, project, comprehension, history and body) connected with the functioning and the comprehension of ontological domain. While Bogusławski focuses on a philosophical perspective it is Monika Modrzejewska-Świgulska who refers to the social pedagogy and creativity pedagogy concepts. Moreover, she also refers to the basic assumptions of narrative psychology to take a stance on issues that are her main interest, i.e. she seeks an answer to the question of what biography is and how it can be understood.
