The aim of this article is to take a multifaceted approach to an illness as a biocultural phenomenon. Putting emphasis on the enormous potential that lies in narratives of one’s physical and mental condition may lead to breaking the monopoly of natural sciences in this respect. Subjective perceptions of deterioration, defects and human fragility are combined with practices leading to the textualisation of illness and building new meanings around it. In humanistic medicine, the suffering person is placed at the centre of therapeutic activities. The article offers also some reflection on the current biotechnological revolution – a great project to improve the present version of humans in an attempt to move our species to another level.

Tekst dotyczy pojęć patografii i autopatografii rozumianych jako gatunki literatury cierpienia i piśmienności chorobowej. Do kanonu omówień problemu literatury patograficznej zalicza się publikacje Arthura Kleinmana, Anne Hawkins Reconstructing Ilness, Arthura W. Franka The Wounded Storyteller oraz Thomasa Cousera Recovering Bodies. Wspólnym elementem omawianych gatunków jest poetyka choroby i wykorzystanie strategii narracyjnych prezentujących doświadczenie medyczne. W związku z coraz większą popularnością i zróżnicowaniem tzw. piśmienności chorobowej konieczne wydaje się wprowadzenie rozróżnienia między autopatografią a patografią, gdzie autopatografia to – w odróżnieniu od patografii – narracja tworzona przez człowieka chorego, pacjenta, swoista autobiografia chorego (w formie różnych egodokumentów tematyzujących chorobę – listów, dzienników, pamiętników itd.), subiektywna narracja autobiograficzna o chorobie.

The text takes as the subject-matter the concepts of patography and autopatography, understood as literary genres describing suffering and illness. The canon of patographic literature includes publications by Arthur Kleinman, Reconstructing Illness by Anne Hawkins, The Wounded Storyteller by Arthur W. Frank, and Recovering Bodies by Thomas Couser. The shared element of genres under analysis is the poetics of illness and the use of narrative strategies for rendering medical experience. The growing popularity and diversity of the so called “illness literature” makes it necessary to distinguish between auto- and patography, wherein autopatography constitutes – unlike patography – a narrative told by a person in illness, a patient, and a certain kind of an ill man’s autobiography (in the form of manifold ego-documents employing illness as the subject – epistles, diaries, memoirs etc.), a subjective narrative on disease.
