Abstract

The European Space for Higher Education leans and legitimates on nuclear subjects which, very often, are not considered in debates and less even in speeches. The diverse actors participating in these transformations are scarcely mentioned, taking for granted that they are there and eluding a deep reflection concerning their different interests, wishes and powers. Bourdieu´s distinction between scientific and professional field allows to go deep into two key actors that star in the university institution reform or transformation: the instructors and the professionals.
