Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the transformations of ac­ademic practices based on an examina­tion of an emergent notion in the field of Higher Education: audit culture. We posit some structuring facets of the tra­ditional organisation of university culture and then we concentrate on the central aspects of what is known as “audit cul­ture”, implemented globally in the last decades. The re-configuration of higher education policies and the means gen­erated from the disruptive rationality of audit culture show a change to a concep­tion of university organisation which is congruent with the pragmatic values of liberal capitalism. At the end of this pa­per we present some of the transforma­tions carried out in university practices due to the implementation of new man­agement issues.
