Motion between the Stage and the Foyer: discursive shifts of the subjectivity of didactics in scientific narratives

Summary/Abstract: In this chapter, an attempt is made to subjectively use selected theoretical categories fromthe area of Critical Discourse Analysis to analyse the narrative location of didactics in theranks of scientific fields and disciplines. Specifically, the author proposes to look at a selectedfragment of the scientific discourse from the perspective of linguistic sema ntics, which,through linguistic collocations, induces a specific understanding, and thus also the practice(social praxeological function) of didactics as an educational process and as an autonomous(against pedagogy) area of scientific cognition. Thus, in this process of fluid (discursively)understanding, the eponymous movement of the subjectivity of didactics takes place, deter-mining – in the social perspective – its primary functions in academic education, and in thelinguistic perspective – a position in scientific narratives about it. The author concludes witha recommendation to draw attention to the social consequences of the discursive “movesbetween the stage and the foyer” of the theatre that is the academy, in the context of thedrift of specific discourses related to education in fields of power that are not only symbolic.
