SVEUČILIŠTE KAO TVRĐAVA
Veliko je pitanje predstavlja li moderno sveučilište poseban prostor u kojem
se kreiraju nove ideje, traže rješenja i vode dijalozi, promišljaju problemi i
čovjekova budućnost. Ovo pitanje je aktualno i u kontekstu europske reforme
visokog obrazovanja označene kao Bolonjski proces. Ističe se dilema da li i
kome danas služi sveučilište, kakva je njegova funkcija, te u kojoj mjeri ono
predstavlja uporište za različite ideološke matrice i instrument određenih centara
društvene moći.
Podređenost sveučilišnih principa interesima ekonomskih centara moći
postala je bitna odlika današnje egzistencije akademske zajednice. Znanstvenici
funkcioniraju kao tržišni produkti, pa se i njihovo pojavljivanje modelira
kao medijska senzacija i dio celebrity kulture. Ali, i suvremeni društveni
kontekst prepoznaje utjecaj političkih struktura. Ovo je zanimljiv fenomen,
naročito u Bosni i Hercegovini, gdje se koncept sveučilišta često poistovjećuje
s konceptom tvrđave – utvrde koja treba zaštititi »domaći« nacionalni prostor.
UNIVERSITY AS A FORTRESS
The big question is whether the modern university is a special space in
which to create new ideas, seek solutions and lead dialogues, reflecting the
problems and the future of a man. This issue is actual in the context of European
higher education reform marked as the Bologna process. This paper highlights
the dilemma on the purpose of the university as well as to whom it serves today,
what is its function, and to what extent it represents a stronghold for various
ideological matrixes and an instrument of certain centers of social power.
The principles of university are subordinated to the interests of the economic
centers of power and that has become an essential feature of the present
existence of the academic community. Scientists operate as a market products,
and their appearance is modeled as a media sensation and a part of celebrity
culture. However, modern social context recognizes the impact of political
structures as well. This is an interesting phenomenon, especially in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, where the concept of universities is often equated with the
concept of fortress − the fortress, which primarily is to protect “domestic”
national space.
