Abstract

This paper elaborates a critical reflection over academic discourse and practice faced with ordinary life. On the one hand, a space reserved for Olympic gods who no longer belong to the space of simple mortals and, on the other hand, the layperson and the ordinary human being. And, through this dichotomic pair - the academic "divine" and the mortal "human" - vectors bearing political powers with sociabilities of/in conflict are formed. Based on the ironical idea that academia is "a republic of good senses", the discussion is devoted towards the ingenuity of the academics who, isolated in the arena of political fights, are not connected to the movements of revitalizing powers concerning the society where they live in.
