Mothers and Daughters in the Autobiographical Field

Summary/Abstract: How do mother-daughter relationships and artistic practices find their place in the autobiographical field, and in what ways are they contingent on the mechanisms in this field? Grzemska proposes the concept of the autobiographical field to highlight the “structure of relations” between people, practices and objects, corresponding to specific areas of activity – not only social or political activity, but also literary and artistic activity. She draws on studies on the aesthetics and performativity of autobiographical writing as well as the work of Pierre Bourdieu. Exploring artistic practices in the autobiographical field, she presents case studies of selected works by visual artists Ewa Kuryluk and Zuzanna Janin, presented in the context of the artistic achievements of their mothers, Maria Kuryluk (Miriam Kohany) and Maria Anto (Antoszkiewicz).
