The Conflict of the Faculties, Again

Scenes of the history of conflict within the university, and also the university’s conflictual history and present, shape this chapter. Short textual essays are combined with original composite images made by combining artists’ representations of the university with conflict photography taken by members of the University and College Union, the main trade union of British university workers, during recent demonstrations. The essays touch on critical university studies from Kant to Derrida to Readings, via discussions of university protests such as the Harvard Butter Rebellion, May ‘68 in Paris and Rhodes Must Fall.
