ABSTRACT

Our study examines the discursive construction of academic subjectivity within the context of the current reforms of academia, driven by the forces of economization and metricization. We focus in particular on the construction of two models of top researchers. Drawing from the theory of Pierre Bourdieu, we call these models ‘autonomous’ and ‘heteronomous’. We investigate 22 in-depth interviews and construct the ideal types of two discursive strategies that Polish senior academic officials use to build the respective models. We also inspect the empirical signs of a tension between those strategies, as well as three ways to deal with limited levels of this tension: using disclaimers, leaving the tension unaddressed, and attempting to reconcile the two strategies. Further, we demonstrate how a high-level tension results in a discursive split, which can be hypothetically linked to the divided habitus of some Polish academics.

摘要

我们的研究在经济化和计量化的力量推动下，在当前学术界改革的背景下检验学术主体性的话语建构。我们特别关注两个顶级研究人员模型的构建。借鉴皮埃尔布迪厄的理论，我们称这些模型为“自治”和“他律”。我们调查了 22 次深度访谈，并构建了波兰高级学术官员用来构建各自模型的两种话语策略的理想类型。我们还检查了这些策略之间紧张关系的经验迹象，以及处理这种紧张关系的有限程度的三种方法：使用免责声明、不解决紧张关系以及尝试调和这两种策略。此外，我们展示了高层紧张如何导致话语分裂，
