Summary/Abstract: This is a performative text – a record of an autoethnographic performance on academic didactics. We show the dynamics of work during the “Autoethnographies of Study” project. It was a didactic project conducted over several years. Our presentation concerns the most extensive and the most fruitful of its implementations in 2015/2016 (for more see Szwa-bowski 2019; Szwabowski, Wężniejewska 2017; Kaczmarczyk et al. [in print]). The project used autoethnography both as a teaching tool and as a research method. Students were to become researchers into their academic life. They were to transform themselves from recipients of knowledge into producers.The following text was presented at a conference on academic didactics. Instead of pre-paring a typical paper, we decided to show how it was done. Again. Once again. This is one of many stories. Repetition – different again.The text consists of a description of the process of its creation. Element of proper performance. Finally, we explain once again our position regarding the role of the text/performances and recall the emotions that accompanied us and the voices that came to us.
