Research Policies in Chile in the Field of Study of Theater

Abstract

In the field of study of higher education, the conflicts of academics and academics before the neoliberal regulation of work in the university have been made visible (Ball, 2003, 2012; Peralta, 2019). This regulation has particularly affected academic activities related to the production of knowledge. Therefore, research in higher education on performativity has pointed out, the academic problems of different fields of study within the framework of the audit culture (Shore & Wright, 1999, Archer 2008, Cannizo, 2018; Harland & Wald, 2018 ). Research shows how the production of knowledge in the different disciplinary fields presents particularities in the face of research policies (Shore & Wright, 1999, Archer 2008, Cannizo, 2018; Harland & Wald, 2018; Grumman, 2020). In the field of theater, research policies are among the current epistemological and methodological discussions concerning its field of study and the history it carries since its university origins (Pradenas, 2006; Grass, 2011). Given this context, academics working in theater schools must respond to the current demands of knowledge production within the framework of the university auditing culture. Therefore, the objective of the project is to analyze academic performance in the face of the current tension of research and knowledge production policies in university theater majors. Finally, this project seeks to contribute to the field of study of higher education from the theoretical and methodological contributions that performativity provides for academic and academic studies. In addition to investigating research policies and the production of knowledge in specific fields of study such as theater.
