Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the modern university as a space of tension between institutionalcrisis, the logic of reforms, and the need for the humanities’ social engagement. Drawingon research conducted by the SOWA project, the author presents the experienceof academics cooperating with their social environment, who often operate withoutthe university’s institutional support. Furthermore, the article criticizes the mechanismsof bureaucratization and research evaluation that contributes to the alienation of academicworkers. In response, the author proposes a vision of a “relation-based university,” aninstitution stemming from cooperation, openness to society, and capable of criticalresponse to modern crises.
