Résumé
La recherche sur la transformation des établissements d’enseignement supérieur montre que la
sous-représentation, le recrutement et la rétention des noirs et des femmes dans les postes supérieurs
constituent toujours le principal défi du projet de transformation de l’enseignement supérieur,
en particulier dans les universités historiquement blanches (HWU). Plusieurs universités sudafricaines
ont répondu à ce défi en lançant des programmes pour le «développement accéléré» du
personnel académique noir. Dans ce projet, nous avons été intéressés d’examiner les implications
plus générales de ces programmes pour transformer / reproduire les cultures institutionnelles
existantes. En mettant l’accent sur un HWU particulier et les participants à son Programme
de développement accéléré (ADP), nous avons demandé si le programme pourrait ou non
contribuer à l’interruption ou à la reproduction de la culture institutionnelle dominante
existante de l’université. Le document est basé sur des entretiens avec 18 conférenciers noirs qui
sont entrés dans la main-d’oeuvre universitaire à travers l’ADP de l’université. En employant
le cadre théorique de la reproduction sociale et culturelle de Pierre Bourdieu, nous discutons
combien il est difficile d’interrompre les normes et valeurs naturalisées qui font partie de la
culture institutionnelle existante d’une université.
