“…This is true too of the university more generally. Universities are transgressive cognitive zones where the contradictions of the knowledge society are most apparent, and as such, the potential exists for universities to become important agents of the public sphere, initiating social change rather than just responding to it (Fuller, 1999;Delanty, 2001). The current debates about the role of the university have remained too dominated by postmodern and neo-liberal scenarios of the demise of the university, and third way ideologies of inclusion offer only the most banal of alternatives.…”

“…Another contradiction in the old model of the university that might be mentioned was the contradiction between the university's role as a producer of new knowledge and as a reproducer of existing knowledge. This contradiction roughly paralleled the double role of the university as a progressive agent of innovation and the carrier of new ideas and models by which society might be transformed and, on the other side, the university as a conservative bastion of the ancien régime (Delanty, 2001).…”

Much discussed in recent times is the idea of the knowledge society. However, on closer inspection we find that this is a highly contested concept and, moreover, it is associated with new ideologies, of which three are discussed in the article: postmodernism, neo-liberalism and third wayism. It is argued that these new ideologies are impacting on higher education, which is consequently experiencing far-reaching cultural contradictions. The article examines six of these: the contradiction of teaching and research, the contradiction of efficiency and scholarship, the contradiction of massification and democratisation, the contradiction of management and leadership, the contradiction of opinion and knowledge, and the contradiction of science and technology.

“…Segundo Delanty (2001), novos modos de produção de conhecimento não levam necessariamente a modelos culturais capazes de explorar o potencial democrático do conhecimento. Talvez esteja aí um papel primordial da universidade, o de contribuir para recuperar o espaço público de discussão, por meio da interconexão de saberes.…”

ResumoEste trabalho tem por objetivo identificar os diferentes papéis que a universidade pode desempenhar quando se envolve em iniciativas da sociedade civil voltadas a informação, cidadania e accountability social em cidades latino-americanas, particularmente nas iniciativas da Rede Nossa São Paulo e da Red Ciudadana Nuestra Córdoba. O contexto do trabalho leva em consideração os desafios contemporâneos nas cidades latino-americanas, os possíveis papéis da universidade diante deles e a diferença de atuação das universidades nas duas iniciativas estudadas, as quais fazem parte da Rede Latino-Americana por Cidades e Territórios Justos, Democráticos e Sustentáveis. Com base em pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, realizada em 2015, em Córdoba e São Paulo, identificam-se os diferentes papéis, as razões que os explicam e os efeitos da interação entre universidade e iniciativas na atuação de ambas e nas suas cidades. Esta obra está submetida a uma licença Creative Commons Palavras-chave: NOTA DE AGRADECIMENTOAs autoras agradecem à Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e Inovação do Estado de Santa Catarina (FAPESC) e ao Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) pelo financiamento parcial ao projeto de pesquisa no âmbito do qual foi realizado o presente trabalho.

“…Th e discussion of the nature of knowledge itself -generated by changes in society and in the transmission of information -have produced, among other things, debates about the risks and benefi ts of developing Mode 2 knowledge production in forms and processes that combine the academy, the state and the private sector (GIBBONS et al, 1994). Mode 2 knowledge production encompasses a shift from a linear process of knowledge production and subsequent dissemination to an interactive, iterative, problem-focused, trans-disciplinary model that sits well with some aspects of KT (GIBBONS et al, 1994;GIBBONS, 2001;DELANTY, 2001).…”

Knowledge transfer and transformation: moving knowledge from research to policy

Th is paper focuses on Knowledge Transfer (KT) as a policy initiative. Knowledge transfer/translation has developed from policy concerns about the gap between research-based knowledge trapped in disciplinary silos and the growing information and knowledge needs of various users. In addition KT maps closely against knowledge economy assumptions as eff ective KT is believed to provide competitive system advantage. In this context, what is distinctive in contemporary global economic development is 'the action of knowledge on itself as the main source of productivity'. But the production of such knowledge does not take place in a vacuum. Th e challenge, then, for governments driving towards knowledgebased economies is not just to promote active knowing as an economic resource but to seek to manage and contain the knowledge that generates as a collective community resource, within acceptable limits. It is the diffi culties that this simultaneous need for freedom and control presents that form the core of this paper.
