Summary/Abstract: In 2016 Wolters Kluwer Publishing House published a collective monograph entitled Fortress. School in a military metaphor. What in exchange?, edited by Maria Dudzikowa, Sylwia Jaskulska. The work opens a new series of pedagogical publications entitled “School Culture” edited by Maria Dudzikowa and Ewa Bochno. In the reviewed paper, four substantively justified parts have been distinguished, which included texts reconstructing school operation using a military metaphor. The studied phenomena were interpreted in the context of the relationship between the strategy (the second part of this paper), the tactics (the third part of the publication) and the selected examples of activity (part four), in this case implemented in the school space. The authors of the text paid particular attention to an interdisciplinary theoretical perspective.
