Academic domains as political battlegrounds: A global enquiry by 99 academics in the fields of education and technology

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article theorizes the functional relationship between the human components (i.e., scholars) and non-human components (i.e., structural configurations) of academic domains. It is organized around the following question: in what ways have scholars formed and been formed by the structural configurations of their academic domain? The article uses as a case study the academic domain of education and technology to examine this question. Its authorship approach is innovative, with a worldwide collection of academics (99 authors) collaborating to address the proposed question based on their reflections on daily social and academic practices. This collaboration followed a three-round process of contributions via email. Analysis of these scholars? reflective accounts was carried out, and a theoretical proposition was established from this analysis. The proposition is of a mu tual (yet not necessarily balanced) power (and therefore political) relationship between the human and non-human constituents of an academic realm, with the two shaping one another. One implication of this proposition is that these non-human elements exist as political ?actors?,just like their human counterparts, having ?agency? ? which they exercise over humans. This turns academic domains into political (functional or dysfunctional) ?battlefields? wherein both humans and non-humans engage in political activities and actions that form the identity of the academic domain.
