Summary/Abstract: The subject of the investigation is the theatrical performative action treated as a para-exploratory, para-analytical practice. The questions posed relate to the possibilities and consequences of pragmalinguistic analysis used in artistic practices concentrated on the institution of school and its social subjects. On the basis of The Pedagogical Body, a performance created by a group of school teachers from the Theatrical Institute in Warsaw, the author analyzes the collective mechanisms for the creation of a performative script and on that basis – for further cultural scripts generated for Polish school institutions. The performative action is treated here as a reflexive practice, focused on the professional activity of teachers and operating within the category of mime. The social aspects of participation in projects of this kind are analyzed in terms of paranoid reactions and mechanisms of exclusion in the work places.
