    Abstract

    This article aims to reconstruct and interpret the cultural processes that have led to the appearance on the stage of the modern world – the so-called “society of the spectacle” – of an actor with an ecstatic and narcissistic type of personality. He appears as an active participant in the ongoing culture wars. He does not use storytelling/narrative as a form of interpersonal communication. Instead, he is realized only in the acts of exaltation, self-declarations and occasional events. The followiing paper is a contribution to the multifaceted biography of the modern idea of the self. It poses existential questions: what about us in the times after narrative? What price must we pay for its cultural degradation? Biography, as the title metaphor, is an epistemological figure, which means that the considerations at stake here do not belong to the field of narratological, but genealogical research.

    Keywords:

    linguistic/discursive turn, narrative subject, ecstatic subject, Facebook model of identity, culture wars, narrative, world as a fiction/plot, liminal activities
