Chapter 1: Discourses of crisis and academia: Debating impacts on practices, values and identities
Zara Pinto-Coelho and Anabela Carvalho
The University as an idea, as a project, is being transformed. What are its specificities in the present days? Do universities still have a public task? What are the appropriate functions of higher education? What are the purposes of teaching and research? What counts as relevant knowledge and what counts as an appropriate higher education? Is the age of Universities (late 11th c. — early 21st c.) in the West getting to a close? Whose discourses are achieving dominance?
(…)
Using an opportunity generated by the organization of the Fourth International Conference of Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines at the University of Minho, Braga, in July 2012, we engaged in a process of interviewing some of our fellow academics. We wanted to gather their opinions on the use of crisis discourses in higher education and research, particularly on its institutional recontextualisation (at the European Union and national levels, as well as at universities and research centres) in the social sciences and humanities fields, and the implications of these processes for the role of the state, the power and role of academics, the character of research, and for the relations between central and peripheral European universities.
