Resumen
El estudio de caso que presento a continuación retrata bajo un lente etnográfico el consumo de las llamadas “drogas inteligentes” (especialmente el Modafinil) en relatos de un grupo en la plataforma Facebook de estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Los relatos recuperados de un inmenso número de estudiantes enlazan esta práctica de consumo tanto con la exigencia universitaria, como con sus propias expectativas de sí mismos, y hasta con las investigaciones en neurociencias. El detalle de la aproximación revela no solo las experticias de los estudiantes en sus prácticas de estudio, sino también las posibles controversias alrededor de la integración de objetos en ensamblajes sociotécnicos que desestabilizan la frontera de lo humano. Aquello conflictivo entre los discursos públicos de las filosofías universitarias en educación y el consumo de las drogas inteligentes en el escenario universitario, nos permite rastrear la reconfiguración de actores frente a la extensa red de la cultura de la auditoria enfrascada en los estándares de medición y evaluación universitaria
The story in next few pages portray a case study with several ethnography insights: “Smart drugs” – as they are now called – in comments on a Facebook group mainly integrated by National University of Colombia Students. Massives text recovered link this consume practice with a huge range of universities measurement standards, but also with the same expectation of the students (specially the expectations on themselves) , and touch so far away academics fields like neurosciences. The small scope of the study and its detail reveals not only the consumer expertise of the students in their study practice, but go through controversies among the assemblage of non-human actors in socio technical networks that destabilize human boundaries. Clash between public discourses on universities education “philosophy” and Smart Drugs consumption allows us to track actors remaking amid audit cultures pent-up in evaluation measurement standards at universities.
