学术“联姻”市场的不得已与担忧——基于《学术资本主义》的思考

Reflections on Academic Capitalism

随着学术资本主义的介入,高校科研的方向和重点发生了改变,尤其是传统的基础研究纷纷转向应用性研究,教学与科研也在一定程度上发生分化,使部分高校的教学科研人员对此感到担忧。希拉·斯劳特和拉里·莱斯利的《学术资本主义》从经济学的视角阐释了学术资本主义的产生与发展,并描述了高校学术研究和教学科研人员的种种转变。面对愈演愈烈的学术资本主义的冲击,高校学术研究怎样才能保持自身的价值与追求,需要认真研究与对待。

With the so-called"academic capitalism"coming up, scientific research in colleges and universities is experiencing dramatic changes in its orientation and focus like the traditional fundamental research turning to applied research, and the teaching comes to be separated from the research and so on. In their monograph Academic Capitalism, Sheila Slaughter and Larry Leslie trace from the perspective of economics how the"academic capitalism"budded and grew, and outline a variety of changes the teaching and researching staff have. Under these circumstances, it is argued that university academicism cannot lose its soul.
