Abstract
The aim of this paper is to point out the perceived particularity of individual literary figurations
as thresholds of subversion of the ‘economy of the same’. The suggested reading considers various
materialities of the text that can refer to the modes of performative structures, as well as to the
interpretations of female gender identity positions. When the ‘essence’ of femininity is
questionable and the status of gender related ideals relative, then different possibilities of gender
performatives are those that generate gender imagery of this Kamov’s literary text.
