“…En efecto, ni el mundo del capitalismo contemporáneo se reduce únicamente a economías "liberales de mercado" o "basadas en coordinación de mercados", que definen el horizonte de la teoría de VoC, ni menos puede limitarse el capitalismo académico exclusivamente a la primera variedad. Una dicotomía así de esquemática sobre simplifica la realidad del capitalismo de los países de alto ingreso y dificulta entender la variedad de capitalismos académicos que se despliegan en países del África , América Latina (Brunner, 2017;Montes & Mendoza, 2018), países árabes (Findlow & Hayes., 2016) y del Asia (Deem et al, 2008;Kim., 2016;Tang, 2014), lugares donde los regímenes de conocimiento se desenvuelven bajo diferentes condiciones político-económicas, institucionales y culturales.…”

Resumen: En las últimas décadas, la teoría del capitalismo académico ha ganado creciente relevancia como un enfoque para comprender la evolución reciente de los sistemas de educación Archivos Analíticos de Políticas Educativas Vol. 27, No. 79 2 superior. El presente artículo analiza la recepción de la teoría del capitalismo académico en América Latina. Con este fin, se exponen los principios conceptuales de esta aproximación y sus críticas en la literatura especializada. A continuación, se observa en detalle la recepción latinoamericana de este enfoque, prestando especial atención a su utilización para el análisis de los sistemas de educación superior de la región. Basándose en este análisis, se argumenta que el uso latinoamericano de la teoría del capitalismo académico aparece débil tanto en términos cuantitativos como cualitativos, aprovechándose a menudo para criticar el estado de los sistemas de educación superior antes que para avanzar en su comprensión. El artículo cierra con un resumen y enuncia líneas posibles de investigación. Palabras clave: Capitalismo académico; educación superior; América Latina; investigación en educación Circulation and reception of the theory of "academic capitalism" in Latin America Abstract: In recent decades, the theory of academic capitalism has gained increasing relevance as an approach for understanding the recent evolution of higher education systems. We analyze the reception of academic capitalism theory in Latin America. To meet this objective, the conceptual underpinnings of academic capitalism are explored as well as their criticisms in the specialized literature. Next, the Latin-American reception of this conceptual approach is examined in detail, with special attention to the ways in which this approach is used to evaluate national higher education systems. Building upon this analysis, it is argued that the Latin-American reception process shows limitations both in quantitative and qualitative terms and is frequently used to criticize the state of higher education systems rather than to understand them. The article closes with a summary and selected future lines of research. Circulação e recepção da teoria do "capitalismo académico" na América LatinaResumo: Nas últimas décadas, a teoria do capitalismo acadêmico ganhou relevância crescente como uma abordagem para entender a evolução recente dos sistemas de ensino superior. Este artigo analisa a recepção da teoria do capitalismo acadêmico na América Latina. Para tanto, os princípios conceituais desta abordagem e suas críticas são expostos na literatura especializada. A seguir, a recepção latino-americana desta abordagem é observada em detalhe, dando especial atenção ao seu uso para a análise dos sistemas de ensino superior da região. Com base nesta análise, argumenta-se que o uso latino-americano da teoria do capitalismo acadêmico parece fraco em termos quantitativos e qualitativos, muitas vezes aproveitando a oportunidade para criticar o estado dos sistemas de ensino superior, em vez de avançar seu entendimento.

“…The positions of academics in various forms of competition are varied and ambiguous. For example, while the submission of HE to market forces has been resisted by some academics (Decuypere and Simons, 2016; Naidoo and Pringle, 2014), for others it has been highly seductive, leading to what Leslie and Slaugter (1997) have referred as to as ‘academic capitalism’ (see also Cantwell and Kauppinen, 2014 and Findlow and Hayes, 2016). Elite academics in general work to co-produce the drivers, structures and templates of status competitions since these are based on criteria dictated by the internal reputational hierarchies that already prevail.…”

The competition fetish in higher education: Shamans, mind snares and consequences

Contemporary education reform worldwide appears to be locked in a competition fetish. This article explores the varieties of competition, including traditional academic forms, contests sponsored by governments and international organisations, market competition and status wars intensified by rankings. Resisting interpretations of competition as naturally occurring, it presents various macro and micro actors, referred to as ‘shamans’, that breathe life into the phenomenon and that are responsible for its generation, constitution and reproduction. These include structural drivers associated with political and regulatory regimes; and symbolic drivers constituted by normative and affective pressures. The article focuses on the extent to which the varieties of competition reinforce, displace, mediate or counteract one another and reveals how powerful policy and symbolic drivers interact to power competition, and how competition forecloses alternative means of educational reform. The unintended consequences of competition on social equity, on academic work and on global well-being are highlighted, and suggestions are offered on ways to escape the competition trap.

“…As Reitz (2017: 877) expressed, "Although academic institutions are not likely to turn into capitalist enterprises, they are restructured through mechanisms of status production, which change the social constitution of knowledge itself". Marketization is a way of disseminating the product in commerce, whereas in academia publicizing and publishing are the ways of dissemination (Findlow andHayes 2016, Jessop 2017). Therefore, the academic entrepreneurs have little idea and knowledge to use the right channel for their products and sometimes even they have to give up that product as they could not find a place in the market (Mendoza 2015, Slaughter andCantwell 2012).…”

“…However, currently, universities find themselves in an extraordinary role known as the "Third Mission", referring to focusing on the societal issues and their collaboration with the industry as their stakeholders. Universities can contribute to economic development through both training necessary human resources and research and development activities (Filippakou and Williams 2014, Findlow and Hayes 2016, Jessop 2017. Besides this, in our age universities face the forces of the entrepreneurial behaviors.…”

Due to the knowledge economy and its impacts on collaborative works with industry, universities have been obliged to shift themselves into entrepreneurialism. This has a great impact on research and development activities and brings about change in structural and cultural academia and institutions, i.e. academic capitalism. This study is based on secondary data analysis of the qualitative study conducted to seek the university-industry relations in three technocenters at
