Silent burlesque has a special place in Karol Irzykowski's early 20th century views on cinema. In particular in the films of Max Linder, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and other great comedians he saw the potential for creating the ideal film art. Irzykowski valued the dynamism and ingenuity of those film artists. Burlesque comedies also were a fantastic reflection of the relation between man and matter - which according to Irzykowski was what defined cinema. For the contemporary observer what appears interesting is the critic's view on human body as the object of performance. In many comedies it became a foreign thing, governed by the rules of inanimate matter.

This article deals with a relatively not-too-well-known text by Karol Irzykowski, composed of fragments of the writer's diary devoted to the sickness and death of his five-year-old daughter Basia. Irzykowski took down his notes as things went on, trying his best at possibly most sincerely evidencing individual phases of that traumatic experience as well as his own feelings triggered by it. The authoress analyses Irzykowski's notes in a gender perspective, asking questions on cultural conditioning of mourning. She moreover juxtaposes these with 'Pałuba', the novel published dozen-or-so years earlier, in which the themes of illness, death and mourning take an essential part. To the scholar's mind, Irzykowski - although driven he was by an imperative of sincerity - was experiencing the events related to the loss of his little girl in a manner resembling that of a scenario projected for a novel's purposes.

The author attempts at interpreting Karol Irzykowski's short story 'Sny Marii Dunin' as a testimony to a modern experience. Both the motif of the unusual illness suffered by the main character, consisting in a reversal of the order of dream and reality, and the motif of the Grand Bell Guild, i.e., 'the vowers of the ideal', indirectly express the dilemmas of modernist thought. The hidden order of things, as symbolised by the Buried Bell, is removed from the sphere of experience which thereby gains the nature of unmotivated casualness. The conviction that there exists another, more realistic, dimension of the world is connected with the discovery of conventionality and 'contractuality' of what we take as real. Irzykowski, very much like other modernists (and, like the Guild members), are in search of an 'ideal', whilst at the same time doubting whether it exists at all; the only thing remaining of essence is the very movement of thought in search of the borders of cognition and borders of art. The mainstream modernist works tend to distance themselves from non-intermediated experience as well as from avant-garde strivings for purifying the perception from cultural influences. They describe the process of dislocation of the sphere of meanings and the world, and investigate into the limitations of discourse, bringing their own artificiality and indirectness to the forefront. Well-developed critical mechanisms render unreal what is conventionally realistic, whilst also taking the signs of authenticity away from any reality found. 'Sny Marii Dunin' reflects this quest for source chaos and the parallel discovering of its illusiveness - the regression into the infinite, being the essence of a modernist(ic) thought.
