Summary/Abstract: In the article I put the thesis about the potential for the change of the normative order of the school reality, which is present in the selected behaviour patterns of the school life’s participants. I describe it through the prism of the neoclassically understood type of the biographical pervert, one of the types distinguished by Florian Znaniecki in Contemporary People and the Civilization of the Future. The theoretical perspective of the research, I base my thesis on, is culturalism. The strategy for obtaining and analyzing data is ethnography. In conclusion I mention Judith Buttler’s concept of the subversion of meaning, as the proposal for using the language to change the way we think and construct reality.
