Résumé

Dans cet article, on soutient que les mutations opérées dans les universités dans le monde et en Afrique du Sud se sont traduites par un changement dû à l’application des modèles de gestion des entreprises. Ceci a engendré de nouveaux rôles et de nouvelles difficultés pour les universitaires qui montrent des signes de stress et de démoralisation. L’article examine le cas de l’UNISA et les témoignages sur les universitaires faits au niveau international et en Afrique du Sud. Le changement de condition sociale des universitaires est également étudié. Les conséquences psychiques négatives, et pourtant omniprésentes, de la bureaucratie qui s’impose sont examinées. Ensuite, on passe à l’analyse critique du concept de « production de connaissances » pour souligner un rôle académique fondamental impliquant, pre- mièrement, l’utilisation de la rigueur dans le domaine des disciplines pour ouvrir les débats et favoriser l’ouverture au monde, et deuxièmement, le travail par le biais des dépendances dans l’enseignement et l’apprentissage. En conclusion, l’article recommande la formation d’un « mouvement collégial important » qui étudiera le type de nouveau rôle académique approprié à la nouvelle situation, et qui agira afin de responsabiliser les universitaires par le biais d’une collégialité accrue.
