Dr Oskar Szwabowski's analysis and evaluation: Necrophilic academic production and partisan songs is a text in the field of critical pedagogy. The author, while maintaining an extremely innovative narrative, is brave and at the same time very emotional and personally criticize traditional university thinking. The lack of consistency of the author and the insufficiently developed theoretical background for his considerations is visible in many cases. When reading, one can get the impression that the autoetnography in question is a type of self-therapy, which dr Oskar Szwabowski, tired of and struggling with many problems in his professional life. Amazing and problematic is the author's revealing attitude to learning, "writing in an academic style" and treating other people involved in science as competitors. There are many problems and understatements in the work. The author's greatest limitation is his own attitude, which results in limiting the area of scientific functioning.
