Résumé

Cet article rend compte d’une tentative ratée de transformer le programme de formation des enseignants à la Faculté d’éducation d’une université historiquement blanche en Afrique du Sud. Sur la base d’une étude plus large, le document soutient que les universitaires de la Faculté étaient fortement liés à la philosophie de l’éducation entachée d’apartheid de la pédagogie fondamentale (PF) qui les a amenés à résister à la transformation des programmes. Utilisant leurs positions dominantes, les universitaires chevronnés ont sapé le processus de transformation en trompant les structures administratives de l’université. En utilisant les concepts caractéristiques de Bourdieu de champ, d’habitus, de capital et d’hystérésis (une condition dans laquelle l’habitus n’est plus synchronisé avec un champ qui subit un changement fondamental), cet article soutient que les pratiques des universitaires chevronnés étaient des actes de violence symbolique parce que ils ont arbitrairement choisi de maintenir la culture établie de la PF qui était destinée à être transformée par l ’université. Le pouvoir institutionnel des professeurs seniors qui a permis leur pratique de la violence symbolique est expliqué avec le concept de capital académique. La théorie de la réflexivité de Bourdieu est discutée comme une intervention pratique qui a le potentiel d’aider les universitaires et les directeurs d’université à limiter les effets de la violence symbolique dans la production des programmes. En conclusion, l’article aborde brièvement les récentes manifestations étudiantes dans les universités sud- africaines et plaide pour l’extension de la conceptualisation de Bourdieu de la domination symbolique pour inclure la relation entre la violence symbolique et physique, qui est un domaine négligé des études supérieures, en particulier dans les sociétés. avec une histoire de colonialisme et d’inégalités sociales racialisées.
