- Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the paper is the presentation of a reflection regarding selected elements of symbolic violence present within the educational environment, and some strategies of the student society's resistance. The example of symbolic violence chosen there is an axiological determinism present in education institutions. This determinism is intertwined with an intentional (and counterproductive) isolation of a school discourse from the real experiences of the students. Such a phenomenon, as addressed in the paper, is focused (mainly, but not exclusively) on such topics as: sexuality, politics, and social and ethical controversies, while the students' protests serve as an exemplification of this dynamic. Methods. An analysis of the current (regarding the event) informational materials. The theoretical frame for this purpose is Pierre Bourdieu's concept of symbolic violence, his and Jean-Claude Passeron's critique of the system of education, and Michel Foucault's concept of institution of power (such as: hospital, prison or school). Conclusions. The strategies of violence present in educational institutions (reactionary acting up, anachronic axiological patterns, depreciation of students' beliefs and convictions) result in: increasing the cognitive and axiological dissonance for the students and educational staff alike, waning of the effective school's pressure and because of this - diminution of the actual effectiveness of this institutional symbolic violence built upon a reactionary pattern. When taken together, this leads to: exacerbation of desire for active contestation (e.g., by participating in strikes or other social protests). An anachronism of the school as an institution led to the search for new alternative community. The students organized an alternative means of expression and participation. Taking their participation in the Woman's Strike as an example, it may be observed as students' language become significantly political and their need for a confrontational approach to the schools' "taboo" increased.
