"Areas of dissimilarity" - monograph on the life and work of Mary Komornicka (1876-1949), and also attempt to redefine the Polish modernism. The turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century was a period of cultural evolution, which define and develop new branches of science such as psychology and sexology, and the emancipation various social groups. Filipiak shows Polish modernism as an era in which the metaphors are as numerous cultural and political aspects of the current the entire twentieth century. It does this through the prism of Mary Komornicka - live units responsive to important issues for us today: the nation and origin, race and gender, ethnicity and culture, social obligations and responsibilities of art.
In 1907, trzydziestojednoletnia Komornicka Maria, waking controversial writer, has announced its next, he is a man - the incarnation of the medieval ancestor of the family - Peter Własta. Biography and works of Mary Komornicka / Peter creep Własta illuminate each other, are a text to read. When they do not go just about biography symbolic - the trail designated by the reading of her career studying Maria Janion. But even for such a reading, which involves the detective and the analyst in what the author compares the "psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams." Filipiak demonstrates a kind of detective work, even when it comes to detecting crime and those guilty of committing. Indeed, as it turns out, tracking the places where there is dissident, is nothing but the indication of the moments of rape and murder. "Maria Komornicka" is thus a place where you can see the cultural mechanisms of exclusion.
Filipiak patiently and carefully, involving intelligent passion, and passion for learning, looking at the many sides of existence tragedy creep, who was unable to locate anywhere where indicated his position, is forced to continuously and desperately looking for its location on the outskirts of culture. Take, after all this effort, because - as emphasized by the author - "freak does not want to look first of all forms of expression for their distinctiveness, but is looking for expressions of their lives. I do not want to establish beyond a limiting discourse, which established itself as a socially and culturally useful discourse entity, despite these limitations. Overcoming internal and external borders is possible through the imagination, but it is done thanks to the courage to take risks in real life. Total risk: the life and work. However - and this is a characteristic feature of thinking Filipiak - transgression creep, one of the coefficients of the tragedy, "becomes a tool for development, the necessary condition. A dissident is a mobile agent who knows himself, develops and defines the variable regions of their sense of belonging ad infinitum."
