Looking for "Self" at the Intersection of “Master/master” Discourses
Looking for "Self" at the Intersection of “Master/master” Discourses

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of constructing the identity of the modern subject that appears at the intersection of lived experience and the description of it. It is treated as instrumental, a sphere of Master/master–disciple relationship, framed by the author as “existing in a Master/master universe.” The results of the author’s own research on scientific (academic) auto/biographies, as well as other resources revealing different aspects of the Master/master–disciple relationship, serve as the main point of reference for creating the descriptive, interpretive, and analytical layers of the article. They are presented in a mode of anthropologically-oriented text analysis supported by—located in the context of Polish educational sciences—Michel Foucault’s concept of “the hermeneutics of the subject.”
