Historia szkolna jako dyskurs władzy
School history as the discourse of authorities

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents how history as a school subject reflects the current historical policy of the State. Following Michel Foucault, history is claimed to always constitute the discourse of authorities. This is exemplified by the case of Mieszko’s baptism, which is a sign of the times, having been presented in the school education depending on the changing political, social and – to a smaller extent – cultural contexts. Consider- able room is devoted to the period from 1918–1939 to show how history curricula re- flected the changing objectives of historical policy conducted by the authorities in this time. History as a school subject is considered omnipotent in the discourse of authorities.
