Mapping Academic Resistance in the Managerial University
基于对十所澳大利亚大学30名学者的访谈，运用詹姆斯·斯科特的理论，绘制并分析学者对管理主义的多种抵抗形式，为理解高等教育中的组织抵抗提供新视角。
This article explores the phenomenon of academics' resistance to managerialism in the contemporary university. Drawing on interviews with 30 academics in ten Australian universities, it employs a range of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives to map and analyse the forms of resistance to managerialism enacted by these academics. In particular, it draws on the work of James C. Scott, including his notions of the `weapons of the weak', and the `hidden transcript' of the subordinated and powerless, to frame an account of organizational resistance in higher education. It is argued here that Scott's anthropological studies of resistance make a useful contribution to an understanding of workplace resistance, complementing recent theoretical developments within this field which emphasize the importance of discursive resistance.
