Despite the declared intention by the government to carry out the transition from residential care to community-based support, the results of the study reveal that under the slogans of care, safety, and commitment, the traditional vision of disability that promotes the operation of segregated institutions is reinforced. Ensuring safety is understood as strengthening the institution of a care home by emphasizing its importance, allocating additional resources, and introducing organized isolation practices that do not necessarily account for subjectivity and residents’ rights. The authors, using the critical approach, point to elements of the discourse that may be remembered most by recipients.

Cruel optimism is understood as a set of unfulfilled promises offered and valued by contemporary consumer society. These promises are an indicator of status, and their very existence is associated with social pressure to strive to achieve them at all costs – also at the price of the degradation of the individual. The proposed analysis examines promises made to persons with disabilities as part of various practices and solutions in the fields of vocational education and employment-related activities, as well as indicates the reasons for their failure. Possibilities of avoiding (or reducing) the effect of cruel optimism in shaping disability policy have also been indicated. The summary contains research postulates and recommendations related to the use of cruel optimism approach in the evaluation of pro...

Faktyczna reprezentacja i wpływ środowiska osób z niepełnosprawnościami w myśl zasady „nic o nas bez nas” jest przedmiotem szczególnego zainteresowania Komitetu ONZ o prawach osób niepełnosprawnych, który przygotował komentarz generalny do art. 33 poświęcony tej sprawie. W artykule przeanalizowany został sposób prowadzenia monitoringu KPON w Polsce i włączenie w ten proces osób z różnymi niepełnosprawnościami w kontekście wymagań określonych przez Komitet ONZ. W Polsce monitoring KPON prowadzony jest w dużej mierze przez duże organizacje pozarządowe i grono ekspertów, co ma swoje konsekwencje. Z działań monitoringowych i rzeczniczych praktycznie wykluczone są grupy osób z niepełnosprawnościami narażonych ...

and concerning the issues of: disability, education, education system, culture (including cultural policy), social and cultural diversity. A comprehensive study of the representation of disability in school
textbooks has not been carried out so far. The project was carried out by a team of female activists with disabilities and non-disabled female researchers who are allies of the movement of people with
disabilities. The main objective of the study ‘(Non)Attendance List: Disability in School Textbooks’ was to reconstruct the way disability and people with disabilities are presented in school textbooks and to
indicate in what contexts and ways disability is defined and represented.
The study involved the analysis of 75 textbooks used for all subjects at all stages of education (early, primary- and secondary-school education).
