In Poland, a discourse on the relationship between the canon and pop culture has been going on for almost thirty years. It is dominated by the belief that these methods of cultural communication are completely divergent. The canon is understood as a bastion of tradition and values and as such is in contradiction with popular culture. This conflict has educational consequences. Creates a resonance in the relationships and teachers, who more and more often show greater knowledge of pop culture phenomena than the so-called cultural canon. The impasse that the school is currently ex-periencing requires a reaction, and this seems to be possible by drawing attention to the subject of education and turning to the “here and now”. In order to explain the possibility of breaking the “cold war” situation between the canon and pop culture, the article cites the transitive principle as a method of building a dialogue between both sides of the dispute.
