Las servidumbres de la excelencia: cuerpo, explotación y violencia en la universidad neoliberal
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2026) Espinoza Pino, Mario; Sin departamento asociado
Today's university is prey to a set of uneases that are founded on the precarization processes derived from the neoliberal doxa in relation to academic work. However, the university environment suffers from another type of more specific violence, centered on the development of the research trajectory itself and the hegemony of the so-called “culture of excellence”, whose demands are somatized, pushing those who dedicate themselves to research to the limit. Some of these uneases cross institutional and labor variables, since due to the existing asymmetries and hierarchies, they facilitate the exercise of tremendously harmful symbolic violence -such as mobbing and sexual harassment-. On the other hand, the logic of publish or perish induces a productivist vision of academic work, subordinated to metrics that have little to dowith the social utility of knowledge or its value in public debate. In our article we will address testimonies of symbolic violence, labor precariousness as well as the most relevant effects of the dynamics of the culture of excellence in the field of research. Finally, we will consider what “research excellence” can mean in a context as eroded as the one we live in.
