Résumé

Les universités deviennent de plus en plus autoréférentes, reflètent les valeurs néolibérales et abandonnent leurs engagements envers l'intérêt public. En réponse, des efforts ont été déployés pour affirmer une «bourse publique» susceptible de contribuer à la transformation progressive de la société pour la justice sociale et la durabilité. Pourtant, les résultats de la recherche publique au sein de l’université néolibérale et élitiste sont ambigus, chargés et contestés. Je m'engage dans les travaux de Judith Butler pour examiner la professionnalisation académique en tant que performativité et décrypter les systèmes disciplinaires qui déterminent les possibilités de réaliser une érudition publique. Je présente un texte auto-ethnographique pour souligner de manière critique certaines des contradictions, des tensions et des défis de la recherche d'un paradigme de recherche transformative au sein de l'académie professionnelle. Mon analyse porte sur trois supports relationnels de la performativité: intériorisé (soi), interpersonnel (cultures) et institutionnel (institutions). Chaque média reflète des citations de discours préexistants se manifestant dans des matériaux, des coutumes, des textes, des procédures disciplinaires et des habitudes. L’académie professionnelle détient un pouvoir disciplinaire à travers ces trois médiums qui construisent une performativité extractive, élitiste et finalement injuste. La performativité est itérative et donc ces médiums ne sont pas fixes mais constitués par leur performance et il y a toujours des possibilités de perturbation, de subversion et donc de transformation. Ces trois médiums et leurs intersections sont des sites de réflexivité et d’action critiques pour l’auto et le collectif.
