The author begins his reflections with the remark that biographism is becoming an increasingly clear aspiration of contemporary cinema and may at the same times constitute a response to the deep crisis of today's film culture and to audiovisual culture in general. According to him, one of the symptoms of the crisis is depersonalization of the forms of screen performance which results from the dominant role of 'no man's' (anonymous) look on the world and on man in today's films. This analysis leads him to assert that contemporary cinematographer wishes to be a 'biographer' again (modeled on the first cinematographic devices of the late 19th century, like Biograph or Bioscope), while the life-writing with a camera is not just an elusive fad of today's cinema. The author stresses the vital cognitive role of biographism that leads to an understanding of the macro-process of the biographisation of contemporary cinema. He closes by saying that biographism constitutes the mature and conscious response of some filmmakers, including Woody Allen, Mike Leigh, Spike Lee or Jim Jarmusch, to digital irrealism and an anonymous nature of cinematic performance.

The authoress analyses the notion of homoeroticism, as one of the themes found in the prose work of 20th century Polish authors: Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, Jerzy Andrzejewski, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz and Marek Hłasko. The article is an attempt to describe the relations that the characters in selected works enter into, shifting the former meaning of the notion of homoeroticism from the sphere of purely sexual fascination towards the psychological need of bond building between incisive male characters. Literature on the subject makes it evident that the homoerotic interests of the discussed authors were not limited to the world of fiction they created, but were clearly present in their biographies, which allows one to find a key to the analysis of their works as well.
