Abstract

Abstract This article examines the conditions that have given rise to the neoliberal university, along with the conditions of being a subject of such an institution – whether as educator, student, or manager on the shop-floor of the “edufactory.” Where the liberal university was recognized as a space for critical thought, slow contemplation and transformative becoming for both student and university worker, the imperative of the neoliberal university is to continuously increase performance – measurable in ultimately economic terms, imposing a new auditable disciplining, and quickening pace, of learning, thinking and working. We argue that the model of the neoliberal university is unsustainable if left to continue in its current form, and which Covid-19 has done little to decelerate or dismantle. There is an urgent need to resist, rethink, and reclaim the space to learn/think/work.

新自由主义大学作为高等教育中学习/思考/工作的空间

本文考察了新自由主义大学产生的条件，以及作为这种机构的主体的条件——无论是作为教育者、学生还是“教育工厂”车间的经理。自由主义大学被认为是学生和大学工作人员进行批判性思考、缓慢思考和变革的空间，而新自由主义大学的任务是不断提高绩效——以最终的经济术语衡量，强加一种新的可审计的纪律，加快学习、思考和工作的步伐。我们认为，如果以目前的形式继续下去，新自由主义大学的模式是不可持续的，而Covid-19几乎没有减缓或摧毁这种模式。我们迫切需要抵制、反思和收回学习/思考/工作的空间。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
