Kategoria męskości w dyskursie TVN Turbo
Category of masculinity in the discourse of TVN Turbo

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of an analysis of over 90 episodes of various TV shows broadcast by TVN Turbo this decade. The principal purpose of the research was to describe discursive strategies employed in the creation of the category of manhood. The analysis takes into consideration the postulates of the discursive and historical approach in the critical discourse analysis (methodological assumptions of Ruth Wodak and Martin Reisigl). In the analysed programmes the strategies of superiority of men over women and male symbolism related to the body and cars are most easily noticed. The image of man is clearly patriarchal and heterosexist, it also demonstrates the features of hegemonic masculinity in the understanding of R.W. Connell.
