THE UNIVERSITY AS A GLOBAL TARGETIn recent years, public universities have become a space for violent interventions of all kinds. From accusations of Islamo-Guachism in countries like France to campus interventions against students in solidarity with the Palestinian cause in the US and Germany, what we see is public universities as spaces of social tension. These police and state actions aim to reshape universities, cutting them from their critical dimension and aligning them with the hegemonic horizon of social crisis management. In this article, I would like to analyze the conditions for universities to preserve their critical capacity amid the horizon of neoliberal dismantling.
