In this paper, we place the issue of university activism in the context of constituent and constituted power. By this we mean the ever-present danger that activists’ demands will be co-opted and concurrently deactivated. To mitigate this risk, we develop a set of conceptual tools that enables thinking about the activist university in terms of instituent praxis; that is, an open process of co-becoming of an institution and its actors through the continuous co-production of rules that drive their actions. Contrary to the view of the university as something instituted, the activist university that we propose emphasises the possibility of sustaining the process of acting and its underlying rules, rather than the result of the act. The activist university is understood here as a crack that leaves the instituted university open every time the self-production of its subject emerges by the self-transformation of the actors in the very course of their activities. We observe a chance for grounding instituent praxis in the ontological shift in thinking the activist university from being to co-becoming, as this will allow for reclaiming the future for the university and its broader ecology.

在本文中，我们将大学行动主义问题置于构成和构成权力的背景下。我们的意思是，存在这样的危险，即激进主义者的要求将被同时吸收并同时失效。为了减轻这种风险，我们开发了一套概念性工具，使他们可以从实践角度考虑激进主义大学。也就是说，通过持续共同产生驱动其行为的规则，机构与行为者共同成为一个开放的过程。与大学建立之初的观点相反，我们提议的激进主义大学强调维持行为过程及其基本规则的可能性，而不是行为的结果。激进主义大学在这里被理解为是一条裂缝，每当参与者在其活动过程中通过自我转变而出现其学科的自我生产时，开放的大学就会开放。我们认为，活动家大学从存在型转变为共同型的过程中，有可能在本体论转变中建立起实践基础，因为这将为大学及其更广阔的生态环境重新开辟未来。
