GOMEZ SANCHEZ, Lucía; JODAR RICO, Francisco e BRAVO SANCHEZ, María Jesús. Neoliberal Governmentality and Knowledge Production in Higher Education: Genealogy of a Subjective Configuration. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.spe5, pp.1735-1750. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy14-5.gnpc.
This article claims that any questioning of the conditions related to the feasibility of critical research projects needs to be done by taking into account the process of commodification of knowledge that has developed in universities due to the incorporation of the modes of neoliberal govern-mentality. This is a process which redefines the value and use that we give to produced knowledge as well as the subjectivity of university collectives. The way knowledge is understood and the subjective configurations that promote instrumental ways of relating to knowledge in an individualizing and competitive environment need to be taken into account. Therefore, we consider it politically relevant to carry out a genealogical analysis of this singular way to treat knowledge in order to show its conceivable traits by pointing out the discourses and practices that shape and support this perspective. This genealogy will enable us to explore what makes the production of critical knowledge impossible and distorts its proof-based character when developed in such an environment.
