Gil Antón, Manuel Academics academic profession higher education. Académicos profesión académica educación superior. Dr. Gil questions the role played by Mexican university academics in the transformation of higher education during the nineties. After outlining the general context of change and its importance, the author proposes avoiding the false dichotomy between restoring the past or installing, without reflective mediation, a schematic future. He suggests taking into consideration the current national academic body composed of several generations of scholars. Three phases are established in terms of the modification of academic activities during the last decades of the twentieth century, and the changes in the level of higher education are considered. Dr. Gil asks if the academics have been actors, subjects, spectators or hostages-both in regard to regulations governing their activity and in the modifications of university processes and structure. The essay ends by proposing a general agenda for research in the field of university studies, and emphasizes two problems: the need for a detailed description of the type and depth of changes, and the definition of the academic as a central actor in institutional life.  Se cuestiona el papel que han jugado los académicos de las universidades mexicanas en las transformaciones de la educación superior en la década de los noventa. Esbozado el contexto general de cambio y su importancia, se propone eludir la falsa dicotomía entre restaurar el pasado o instaurar, sin mediación reflexiva, un futuro esquemático. Se propone considerar al actual cuerpo académico nacional conformado por varias generaciones de académicos. Se establecen tres fases en cuanto a la modulación de las actividades académicas en las últimas décadas del siglo XX, y se consideran los cambios en el nivel de la educación superior preguntando si los académicos han sido, tanto en los referentes que regulan su actividad como en las modificaciones a los procesos y estructuras universitarias, actores, sujetos, espectadores o rehenes. El ensayo termina proponiendo una agenda general de investigación para este campo de los estudios universitarios, y enfatiza dos problemas: caracterizar con mayor detalle el tipo y profundidad de los cambios, y la constitución del académico como un actor central en la vida institucional.
