CULTURAL CAPITAL AND THE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF MEDIA TEXTS BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The article presents the initial assumptions of the research project, the subject of which is the conceptualization of media texts by students of the first grades of secondary schools, taking into account their cultural capital. The research material consists of written works that were created as part of the research on linguistic and text-forming competences in 2013-2020. Four assumptions were made: written student text is an excellent diagnostic tool; it can be a tool for verifying the level of students' cultural capital; it allows to find out how students conceptualize various cultural texts, including media texts; the way of conceptualizing media texts allows to define the level of media competences (here limited to perceptive competences). The author refers to the sociological theory of cultural capital by P. Bourdieu and the concept of a text of culture (including media text) developed on the basis of media and literary genology. The preliminary analysis shows that students willingly reach for cultural texts learned outside the school and want to refer to them in their works. At the same time, it is confirmed that students watch more than read. The media messages cause the most problems for students. The cultural capital of students is built on media and popular culture texts. However, it is not discussed at schools. Such cultural capital does not help in deeply experiencing the culture offered by school, and on the other hand - the development of cultural competences by schools does not help students understand texts more closely, e.g. media texts (including films, series that do not belong to so-called high culture).
