This text is made up of two great nuclei of ideas. The first concerns training and historical development that allow a definition of the unique profile that the School of Art and Visual Communication offers the country through artistic education. Here we analyze the contributions of two administrative periods that are fundamental, because it is during their duration that the identity that characterizes the School as an educational and artistic institution is forged. The second part refers to the plastic-artistic, intellectual and teaching production of outstanding professors. This section characterizes the facets that distinguish the work of each author considered and gives a global idea of the values of their artistic production, their projection to the country and the artistic environment from the spheres of creation, art criticism, insertion in museums and teaching itself.

The modern university is sustained by academic freedom; it guarantees higher education’s independence, its quality, and its success in educating students. The need to uphold those values would seem obvious. Yet the university is presently under siege from all corners; workers are being exploited with paltry salaries for full-time work, politics and profit rather than intellectual freedom govern decision-making, and professors are being monitored for the topics they teach.No University Is an Island offers a comprehensive account of the social, political, and cultural forces undermining academic freedom. At once witty and devastating, it confronts these threats with exceptional frankness, then offers a prescription for higher education’s renewal. In an insider’s account of how the primary organization for faculty members nationwide has fought the culture wars, Cary Nelson, the current President of the American Association of University Professors, unveils struggles over governance and unionization and the increasing corporatization of higher education. Peppered throughout with previously unreported, and sometimes incendiary, higher education anecdotes, Nelson is at his flame-throwing best.The book calls on higher education’s advocates of both the Left and the Right to temper conviction with tolerance and focus on higher education’s real injustices. Nelson demands we stop denying teachers, student workers, and other employees a living wage and basic rights. He urges unions to take up the larger cause of justice. And he challenges his own and other academic organizations to embrace greater democracy.With broad and crucial implications for the future, No University Is an Island will be the benchmark against which we measure the current definitive struggle for academic freedom.
