The fortunes of anthropology, and of the university, have always been tightly linked. The university of the Enlightenment was committed to universal human progress, as was the anthropology that grew up within it. But both the university and anthropology were equally complicit in the project of colonial subjugation. Today, with the imminent collapse of the Enlightenment model of knowledge production, the challenge is to repurpose of the university to align more with sustainability than with progress. What part can anthropology play in bringing this about? This chapter outlines principles common to both the anthropology and the university of the future. These include: freedom, performed in a spirit of companionship rather than academic exceptionality; decoloniality, understood as a process that uncouples education from modernity and coloniality; multiversality, as a commitment to one world of nevertheless infinite difference; research, as the pursuit of truth through curiosity and care; amateurism, meaning scholarship as a labour of love; and a nomadic disciplinarity that binds multiple lines of interest. The chapter concludes by returning to the idea of education as commoning. How can the university of the future serve the common good? How can it heal the rupture between education and democracy? |

The chapter concludes by returning to the idea of education as commoning. How can the university of the future serve the common good? How can it heal the rupture between education and democracy? La suerte de la antropología y la de la universidad siempre han estado estrechamente ligadas. La universidad de la Ilustración estaba comprometida con el progreso humano universal, al igual que la antropología que creció en su seno. Pero tanto la universidad como la antropología fueron igualmente cómplices en el proyecto de subyugación colonial. Hoy en día, con el inminente colapso del modelo de producción de conocimiento de la Ilustración, el reto consiste en reconvertir la universidad para que se alinee más con la sostenibilidad que con el progreso. ¿Qué papel puede desempeñar la antropología para lograrlo? Este capítulo describe principios comunes a ambas, la antropología y la universidad del futuro. Entre ellos se incluyen: la libertad, realizada en un espíritu de compañerismo más que de excepcionalidad académica; la decolonialidad, entendida como un proceso que desacopla la educación de la modernidad y la colonialidad; la multiversalidad, como un compromiso con un mundo, no obstante, de diferencias infinitas; la investigación, como la búsqueda de la verdad a través de la curiosidad y la atención; el amateurismo, entendiendo la erudición como una labor de amor; y una disciplinariedad nómada que entrelace múltiples líneas de interés. El capítulo concluye retomando la idea de la educación como el hacer de lo común. ¿Cómo puede la universidad del futuro servir al bien común? ¿Cómo puede sanar la ruptura entre educación y democracia? A fortuna da antropologia e da universidade sempre estiveram intimamente ligadas. A universidade do Iluminismo estava comprometida com o progresso humano universal, assim como a antropologia que cresceu dentro dela. Mas tanto a universidade quanto a antropologia foram igualmente cúmplices no projeto de subjugação colonial. Hoje, com o colapso iminente do modelo iluminista de produção de conhecimento, o desafio é redirecionar a universidade para se alinhar mais com a sustentabilidade do que com o progresso. Que papel a antropologia pode desempenhar para concretizar isso? Este capítulo descreve princípios comuns à antropologia e à universidade do futuro. Estes incluem: liberdade, realizada em um espírito de companheirismo em vez de excepcionalidade acadêmica; decolonialidade, entendida como um processo que desvincula a educação da modernidade e da colonialidade; multiversalidade, como um compromisso com um mundo de diferença, no entanto, infinita; pesquisa, como a busca da verdade por meio da curiosidade e do cuidado; amadorismo, significando a sabedoria como um trabalho de amor; e uma disciplinaridade nômade que vincula múltiplas linhas de interesse. O capítulo conclui ao retomar a ideia de educação como o fazer do comum. Como a universidade do futuro pode servir ao bem comum? Como ela pode curar a ruptura entre educação e democracia?
