Miêu tả:This paper undertakes a critical analysis of the main challenges facing decolonial thought within the university, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of different forms of capital and his concept of homo academicus. The central question guiding the argument is: What are the main challenges for decolonial thought to remain consistent with its own theoretical presuppositions within the university? The paper argues that the university, understood as a field shaped by power relations, positions actors according to the forms of capital they possess. For decolonial thought, this creates a tension between maintaining its practical and transformative potential and adapting to the institutional dynamics required to gain and sustain influence within the academic field.
