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 authoress analyses the role of modern pieces of machinery whose purpose in Marcel Proust's novel cycle 'A la recherche du temps perdu' becomes aesthetic. Railroad, phonography, telegraphy, telephony, cinematography, x-ray technology, automobiles, airplanes - all that passes forward in front of the reader's eyes, reinforcing the cycle's grand theme: the 'lost time'. Modernity, as she argues, brings about an emancipation of the senses in that the latter are no more merely an instrument of cognition but are transferred to the sphere of aesthetics.

Commentary to Sara Danius' published in the present issue. The author argues that modernist senses - as coupled with motion-picture cameras, photo-cameras, devices designed for recording and reproducing physical phenomena, all of them incessantly under improvement - started penetrating into areas of the reality never described before and exploring theretofore-hidden fields of vision.
