    The author considers two problems: first, the description of Maxwell and Yang-Mills fields by means of tensor products of certan Dirac fields; and second, whether an analogous approach can be employed to obtain the source-free Einstein equations. This explains his terminology `Diracian theory of fields' and `spinogravitation', and his attempt to obtain an association between the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. His methodology makes extensive use of two classical isomorphisms: the Kähler-Atiyah isomorphism between a Clifford algebra and an exterior algebra, and the isomorphism of the tensor product of a spinor space and its dual with the Clifford algebra. Contents include: an introduction, the Kähler-Atiyah isomorphism and the Dirac equation, Maxwell equations with null current and the Dirac equation, Maxwell equations with current, the Kaluza-Klein-Yang-Mills equations and the Dirac equation, the Diracian theory of gravitation (spinogravitation), and an appendix.
