School in the discourse of polish cabarets
The study aims to identify problems related to school and school education present in cabaret discourse and the way they are presented. The cabaret is an interesting research area and field of analysis of social problems, including issues related to educational policy. The data collection method was source searching. The analytical material consisted of eight sketches of Polish cabarets, selected according to the criteria: time of publication, popularity, and topicality. The data analysis method belongs to a group of approaches called critical discourse analysis. Applications of discursive strategies described by R. Wodak and M. Reisigl were sought. The results show that in the discourse of Polish cabarets, the school is presented as a subordinate contractor of political and legal regulations. It characterises with low social prestige, which is built on the low assessment of school teaching in terms of content, the low prestige of the teaching profession, and the low assessment of the student’s role. In relations between these entities, the discourse of scolding and disciplining appears as the manifestation of power and hierarchy; of infantilisation and sexism.
