Abstract
TORRICO-AVILA, Elizabeth et al. Latin American young researchers' experiences in the academic labor reintegration. A Case Study Analysis. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.1, pp.117-127. ISSN 1515-9485. http://dx.doi.org/10.37177/unicen/eb32-315.
The neoliberal model that has permeated higher education has forced academics to participate in the production of research in the search of institutional stability. This paper problematizes the limited opportunities of re-integration of young Latin-American researchers in academic institutions. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that hinder access to academia and unveil the weaknesses behind governmental policies. The methodology employed is a critical discourse analysis of five biographies of Chilean and Mexican doctors. Results uncovered the use of discursive strategies that aim to legitimise reasons behind work fragility and the discursive construction of these actors. This article contributes to acknowledge similar patterns amongst Latin-American young researchers.
Keywords : research; academia; labour integration; work fragility.
