For a number of weeks in Italy the entire education system \u2013 from universities to elementary schools, from students to researchers and from parents to teachers \u2013 has been mobilizing. Marches, occupations, demonstrations, pickets and blockages of the metropolitan flow have replaced the dreary rhythm of school timetables and university courses. The protests are directed against the new budget cuts implemented by Berlusconi\u2019s government last summer, which seriously undermine the public nature of education and research.<\/p>\n
The university movement \u2013 self-named the \u201cAnomalous Wave\u201d \u2013 acts within a specific context, such as the long crisis and decline of the Italian higher education system. However, it also critically underlines common trends in the transformations affecting the university at the European and transnational level: i.e. the Bologna process, the corporatization of education and the changes of the welfare system, the central role of knowledge in the mode of production, the rise of casualised labor, the emergence of a new type of student-worker figure.<\/p>\n
Moreover, one of its key slogans is particularly interesting \u201cWe won\u2019t pay for your crisis\u201d. It indicates the critical intersection of a double global crisis: the university crisis and the financial crisis. The rise of a \u201cdebt generation\u201d is one of the points at which this intersection is clearly observable. But the movement is also an occasion to formulate a deeper, more complex analysis of this double crisis, in order to allow a debate between different perspectives to topics such as the rise of a global university and its various forms of translation, the conflicts in the process of knowledge production, the role of networks in the education and financial markets.<\/p>\n
we will launch the new special issue of ephemera on " discussing the role of the modern university"
