Example text

I know some of these names are difficult; even so, I think it might pay you for instance to remember that Mediterranean is spelt with one T an two R's and not the other way round. 18 The imagined student in Amis's fiction has moved from the hard-working Mr Michie of Lucky Jim to the less-than-enthusiastic Miss Calvert of Jake's 24 Through the Looking Glass Thing. A generation of men - of whom Larkin and Amis are only a part - which attempted to claim the universities for their own find that these very institutions remain in the same (privileged) hand as ever but are now invaded by a popular culture that both preserves and disguises class.

This rewriting of Amis echoes a plea made by Bourdieu for the definition of scholarship to be 'to play seriously'. He writes - with an optimism that cannot but appear doomed to disappointment: Homo scholasticus or homo academicus is someone who can play seriously because his or her state (or State) assures her the means to do so, that is, free time, outside the urgency or a practical 10 situation . . Perhaps, for some academics, a degree of 'free' time, in the formal sense of time which is not timetabled, still exists.

Until about 1970 (when entry to higher education in Britain did begin to become more extensive) British universities were partly about class assimilation: ensuring that generations (largely of young men) could continue to reproduce a particular culture. But in addition to this, British universities were about intellectual investigation, about daring to speculate and about affirming the possibility that critical inquiry had value. It is romantic to suppose that universities, and people in them, have dispassionately pursued truth.
