[Commlist] CFP: Decelerated Academy? Enclosures, Enthusiasms, and Epidemics

As an institution, the University faces the challenge of its own 
survival in the 21st century. The educational ecosystem that integrates 
it is under pressure and some hard conditions that restrict the work of 
teachers and researchers. The ‘Accelerated Academy’ project is promoted 
by an international group of academics willing to problematize the 
university institution. The global aim of the initiative is to 
critically reflect and rethink the spaces and times that constitute the 
university as an institution.

Edition #8 of the ‘accelerated academy’ arrives in Valencia in October 
2021 with the title: “Decelerated Academy? Enclosures, Enthusiasms, and 
Epidemics”.

The event is sponsored and co-organized by the University of Valencia 
(Spain) and CRITICOM and it is open to the entire international 
university, academic and research community. The conference will feature 
the opening and closing lectures by César Rendueles and Remedios Zafra 
and expects to open spaces for debate and the construction of 
alternatives for a ‘better university’.

The main topics of the congress section of the event cover a great 
variety of points of view:

- COVID-19 as leverage of previous debates of knowledge production and 
creative work. - Creative production within lockdown measures and online 
environments.
- Intersectional inequalities as key factors in the pandemic 
consequences of creative labor.
- Lasting and new hierarchies in Academic labor and their visibility.
- North-South relationships regarding the investigation and the 
diffusion of results. - Deceleration of Academic workflows.
- Uncertainty in future work and their emotional (enthusiasm) and 
material (Academic duties) implications.
