A new system of school evaluation was implemented in Poland in 2009. It consists of two elements: self-evaluation (conducted by teams of teachers) and external evaluation (conducted by inspectors trained in evaluation). This way of evaluation reflects not only autonomous and engaged evaluation but also dissociated and unbiased external evaluation. Its final product – a report written by a team of inspectors – is a mixture of voices and interests analysed through several standards imposed by the state. On the theoretical level we treat the school inspections system in a way similar to Harold Garfinkel’s famous analysis of hospital documentation as a consequence of negotiation between a patient and a hospital (2007). We had to understand above all the discursive level of the text to be able to highlight different layers of this re-interpreted auto-interpretation, in particular a differentiation of voices of diverse, and often conflicted groups (teachers, students and their parents and establishing entities). Then we paid attention to the future. For the future it is possible to consider three different scenarios (based on multidimensional analysis) that can be described through the metaphors of guard, guide and partner. We then tested these three models using data gathered in the external evaluation and post-evaluation.

The article examines the role of power in economic theory, with a special focus on the microeconomic theories of the firm. The aim of the paper is twofold. First, the author provides a comprehensive explanation of the concept of power in an enterprise. Second, he attempts to prove that microeconomic theories of the firm may benefit considerably from the theory of power and its findings. The author develops an expanded definition of power based on Dahl’s concept. Two key theoretical approaches to power are presented: managerial and critical. The role of power in neoclassical, behavioral, managerial, institutional, new-institutional and micro-micro theories is examined. The author checks if the findings of the theory of power can be incorporated into microeconomic theories. The analysis reveals that the concept of power is not fully utilized and sometimes even neglected by microeconomic theory. This is despite the fact that the theory of power can enrich the microeconomic view and understanding of the enterprise, Miroński says. He looks at power as a neutral (not necessarily negative), dynamic and complex concept that can help explain many important microeconomic issues. Behavioral and managerial theories propose many alternative goals of the enterprise, and the concept of power may help predict which of these goals would dominate in a given situation. Transaction costs or “ineffectiveness X” from Leibenstein’s micro-micro theory are influenced by power relations within the company. Further research into the application of the theory of power in economic theory seems to be both justified and promising, Miroński concludes.

Th is article analyzes political narratives of the discourse on the future use of nuclear energy in Hungary. In light of the January 2014 parliamentary decision to expand Hungarian nuclear energy production capacity with Russian technology and fi nancing, the article examines parliamentary addresses of the period 2010–2013 to identify and interpret characteristics and changes in nuclear narratives of parliamentary parties and the government. Th e content analysis includes identifi cation of framing, characteristics of choice of language, realization of risk and of benefi t oriented speaking patterns, and the assessment of power relations between the political actors. Th e article argues that the nuclear communication strategies of political parties show distinct approaches: full f ront approach to include nuclear aspects of all possible issues, avoidance that attempts not taking sides in this issue, and re-direction that, within the nuclear framing, places a focus on other aspects with the purpose to re-defi ne the dominant framing and to rule the discourse. Risk awareness patterns range from comprehensive to occasional, selective and latent risk perception structures. Th e Risk Perception Index, comprehending levels of risk and benefi t perception, can serve as a model to measure, in numeric terms, the support or critique of the nuclear agenda.

Romance has the reputation of being an opiate for the masses. This paper intends to analyze if it is indeed a fantasy imposed from above or if there is room for negotiation. The chosen space is vampire romance writer J. R. Ward's forum. Power will be discussed through the lens of Foucault's Panopticon and de Certeau's productive consumption, among others.

This article discusses the transformations taking place in German theatre, triggered by the #MeToo movement. In Germany, these began in 2018 with the sexual harassment accusation of a prominent film and television director and producer, Dieter Wedel, although the activism of organisations drawing attention to violence against women began much earlier. Subsequent cases of harassment and violence in the workplace revealed in the media have prompted the theatre and film community to discuss corrective action on a systemic level. The article discusses both the actions taken by various organisations and associations, such as the Deutscher Bühnenverein (German Stage Federation), the Themis association or the non-profit organisation ensemle-netzwork, as well as research conducted in Germany (among others by Thomas Schmidt) on abuses of power in theatre and film. Their results clearly indicate the need for equality, anti-violence and anti-discrimination measures in the film and theatre industry, as well as a change towards a more democratic management model.

The research to be presented focuses on the impoliteness strategies used by the main character in the TV series "House, M.D." and the responses to them, as well as the potential reason(s)/intention(s) behind impoliteness use as indicated by (Culpeper 1996) and (Culpeper, Bousfield and Wichman 2003). The data comprised transcripts from Season 1, episodes 1-20, broadcast on Fox TV in 2004-2005, taken from http://twiztv.com/scripts/house. This paper argues that, following Leech's (1993) conception of irony, which is the same as Culpeper's conception of sarcasm, the latter being a pervasive feature of Dr House's conversational style, he does not overtly conflict the Politeness Principle but, according to Partington (2007), tries to be interesting, memorable and show alignment with the hearer. Thus he seems to try to preserve, in a way, social harmony by not causing great damage to his interlocutor's face but allowing him/her to arrive at the offensive point of his remark via an implicature. Furthermore, in the context of the hospital setting, although he has the legitimate power and the expert power, in Spencer-Oatey's (2000) terms, to be direct he opts for indirectness. Regarding intentions, his use of impoliteness towards his trainees might be compared to army training (Culpeper 1996), while his being impolite with his patients to the American adversarial legal system (Lakoff 1989). Lastly, the responses of Dr House's interlocutors, mainly his trainees, which gradually escalated in impoliteness, are in line with the consequences of workplace incivility (Anderson and Pearson 1999).

Lewis Coser perennially discussed various forms and facets of ‘greedy institutions’ with their total grasp on the individual. Coser’s ‘greedy institutions’ demand undivided time and loyalty from the individual who will voluntarily devote him/herself for exclusive benefits only granted to loyal followers. Although the ancient authorities have vanished—princes with their court Jews, masters with their servants, or religious and political missionaries— one can argue that the idea of the greedy institution is far from obsolete today. Management consultants, 24/7 old-age carers from Eastern Europe and particularly the ‘hive mind’ of new social media show that a revisiting of Coser’s theory can help in understanding modern forms of greed in institutions. This awareness may enhance vigilance against intrusions into personal autonomy.

The article aims at presenting two opposite socio-philosophical stances, to which most of research on power within the framework of discourse studies can be attributed. These outlooks are represented by the names of Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault. The discussion between these intellectuals constitutes the basis for the comparative analysis presented in the article. The competing approaches to the following questions are juxtaposed: what is political power, why power relations need to be analyzed and possibly changed, what is the role of ideas like “struggle”, “freedom” or “justice” in these processes. For many researchers interested in discursive manifestations of power relations, this set of notions delineates the scope of normatively legitimate pragmatic issues inscribed into the research practice. The aim of the paper is to closely examine the assumptions underlying the rival solutions to the above mentioned issues. This is achieved by presenting the contrasting arguments used as a means for the justification of legitimacy and moral rightness of each standpoint.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie dwóch przeciwstawnych stanowisk filozoficzno-nau- kowych, do których można przyporządkować dużą część badań nad władzą prowadzonych w ramach analizy dyskursu. Sygnowane są one nazwiskami Noama Chomsky’ego i Michela Foucault. Podstawą ich prezentacji jest dyskusja, w której udział wzięli obaj uczeni. Artykuł przedstawia opozycyjne spojrzenia na to, czym jest władza polityczna, co jest celem jej bada- nia i ewentualnej zmiany oraz jaką rolę odgrywają w tych procesach takie pojęcia jak: walka, wolność czy sprawiedliwość. Dla wielu badaczy dyskursowych przejawów relacji władzy ten zestaw terminów wyznacza sferę umocowanych normatywnie konkretnych problemów wpisanych w praktykę badawczą. Tekst stawia sobie zadanie prześledzenia przesłanek dwóch sposobów teoretyczno-badawczego rozwiązania tych kwestii, poprzez zaprezentowanie czę- ściowo przeciwstawnych argumentów służących nadaniu własnej optyce prawomocności lub moralnej słuszności.

Artykuł „Ku dydaktyce afirmatywnej” jest opisem projektu mającego na celu przyjrzenie się doświadczeniu uczenia (się) w sposób systemowy i kompleksowy oraz próbę określenia warunków, które sprzyjałyby wartościom inkluzywności, tolerancji, uważności, współodpowiedzialności i zaangażowaniu oraz wspierałyby działanie na ich rzecz. Projekt ma charakter otwarty i składa się z dwóch części. Część krytyczna opisuje zastaną sytuację i główne zagrożenia z nią związane. Część afirmatywna jest próbą wypracowania pozytywnych wskazań, które sprzyjałyby zmianom w podejściu do dydaktyki.

The article “Towards affirmative didactics” is a description of a project reflecting on the experience of teaching and learning in a systematic and complex manner. It is also an effort to define the conditions that could encourage values such as inclusiveness, tolerance, mindfulness, joint responsibility, as well as engagement in and support for actions undertaken to strengthen the above-mentioned values. The project is a work in progress and it consists of two parts. The first one is critical and it describes the given situation by pointing the main threats involved. The second – affirmative one – was created with the effort to develop positive guidelines that would encourage transformations in the approach to didactics.

I do research on the world of a child from a few years, trying to find the most suitable way to reach a child. The longer I do research, however, the more and more doubts: do I really come close to the child`s world? Maybe it is only an adult`s construct of a child`s reality. In this article I present my and students` experiences with research on children, which we did during the research project Innovative methods in early childhood education. I try to answer questions: who should research a child`s world? Where, and how? I respond to doubts: how to distinguish child’s perspective from an adult’s\; how to avoid the power relation in research. Using my experiences, I resolve the problem by present the Alison Clark mosaic approach in research with children.

Badaniem świata dziecka zajmuję się już od kilku lat. Poszukuję sposobu dotarcia do dziecka, jednakże im dłużej próbuję swoich sił jako badaczka w świecie doświadczeń dziecięcych, tym więcej mam wątpliwości, czy rzeczywiście udaje nam się dotrzeć do dzieci, czy może to jedynie nasz dorosły konstrukt dziecięcej rzeczywistości. W niniejszym artykule prezentuję doświadczenia odnośnie do badań nad dzieckiem/badań z dzieckiem, które zdobyłam razem ze studentkami studiów podyplomowych edukacji wczesnoszkolnej w czasie realizacji projektu badawczego: Innowacyjne metody w edukacji wczesnoszkolnej. Próbuję znaleźć odpowiedzi na nurtujące mnie pytania: Kto powinien badać dzieci?, Prowadzić badania z dziećmi?, Gdzie?, W jaki sposób?. Jednocześnie poszukuję wyjaśnień swoich wątpliwości: Jak odróżnić perspektywę dziecka od perspektywy dorosłego?, W jaki sposób w badaniach uniknąć pozycji siły i zależności pomiędzy dorosłym a dzieckiem? Opierając się na naszych spostrzeżeniach i doświadczeniach, postaram się rozstrzygnąć te dylematy, wskazując na zastosowanie podejścia mozaikowego Alison Clark w badaniach dzieci/z dziećmi.
