The university is (again, still) in crisis, and we in the so-called Global North need to read and listen to our colleagues in the Global South, whose geopolitical realities often anticipate fissures that may have been latent or eclipsed but that are exerting ever more pressure as they come to the surface.\"—Erin Graff Zivin, author of \u003ci\u003eAnarchaeologies: Reading as Misreading\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Willy Thayer turns the Kantian project against itself, showing that the epochal crisis of the contemporary university happens through the terminal deployment of its hidden logic, not through its interruption.”—Alberto Moreiras, Texas AM University, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Exhaustion of Difference: The Politics of Latin American Cultural Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA landmark work of critical theory about the Western university from the Southern Cone\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Renowned Chilean philosopher Willy Thayer’s \u003ci\u003eLa crisis no moderna de la universidad moderna\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1996 and in an updated edition in 2019, is a landmark work of critical theory from the Southern Cone. Presented in English for the first time, \u003ci\u003eThe Non-Modern Crisis of the Modern University\u003c\/i\u003e rewrites the idea of the Western university while also diagnosing the ills of postdictatorship Chile through a philosophically informed dismantling of its neoliberal institutionalization of higher education. Bret Leraul’s translation advances the vital work of globalizing critical university studies by disseminating theory from the Global South. If the university helped to construct Chile’s neoliberal society, Thayer’s polemical deconstruction of both will help readers reconstruct the cultural politics of the era to better understand the global hegemony of neoliberalism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eUntimely, Uneven, Combined: Translator’s Introduction \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I.
