• W1915655024 abstract "For various reasons, a number of scholars, such as Matthew Arnold, Allan Bloom, Jean-FrancoisLyotard and Bill Readings, have recently suggested that the contemporary university has lost anycultural role and that in turn its members have lost any right to claim that they pursue any culturalfunctions. For the more recent of such scholars (Lyotard; Readings), the problematic nature of thecontemporary university as a cultural site is a result of the dominance of neoliberal values and marketaffiliated norms. Contrary to these claims, I suggest here that the cultural profile and role of universitiestoday are changing and expanding, rather than diminishing or dying out.I explain that the allegation that the university has ceased to be a cultural institution is misleading,because it is based on problematic bases and on a restricted understanding of the idea of culture. I arguein a similar manner that the two almost polar proposals of scholars towards restoring the relationshipbetween universities and culture are equally problematic, because they also draw on a limitedconception of culture. Readings and Lyotard, on the one hand, suggest that the university should becomean open cultural space, facilitating uncritically the flourishing of every emerging belief or idea. Theother alternative proposed by scholars like Arnold and Bloom is that the university should become anelitist institution, sustaining extensively high culture and remaining uninvolved with societal affairs.I go on to argue that universities are still cultural sites and have more complex positions as to how theyinfluence their surrounding cultures and as to how they are influenced by local and global cultures.Against the set of reflections maintaining that the university is currently just another expression of thedominant global economy, I suggest a third way in understanding the relationship between universitiesand culture. Universities may provide space for various voices to be heard and for many cultures toflourish. But this has to be done critically, by enabling people inside and outside the boarders of theuniversities to develop and set in action well-informed mechanisms of understanding and judgement.Reflecting conceptually on aspects of this relationship and drawing on the case of the University ofCyprus, I suggest that universities are indeed still cultural sites, which may be described as cultures-inaction." @default.
