The present article focuses on the analysis of the role of pseudonyms in the life and works of the French artist Claude Cahun. The authorial and individual existence of this versatile representative of the surrealist movement seems to be characterized by the refuse of labels and definitions. Taking this rejection as a starting point, the article will explore the underlying reasons that led Cahun to refuse her birth name and use pseudonyms instead. In particular, it will propose a short analysis of Cahun's choice of the neutral name (Claude)/jewish surname (Cahun), and their implications as far as the struggle for individual definition is concerned, with a particular focus on the concepts of gender, class, family and religion.

The goal of this article is analysis of epistolary signatures (autographonyms) of selected writers of the 20-year interwar period (M. Choromanski, M. Dabrowska, W. Gombrowicz, J. Iwaszkiewicz, Jan Lechon, B. Lesmian, M. Samozwaniec, B. Schulz, J. Tuwim, and S. I. Witkiewicz) and their appearance as pseudonyms. Described are the sociological, psychological, and pragmatic conditions of their selection and the means of creating the autographonyms assembled as well as formal classification of them. The specificity of the epistolary signature is emphasized, as it was often a fulfillment of the expression of partners in correspondence dialog as well as a determinant of the emotion and expression of the letter’s author.
