这篇文章有两个目的。首先，它讨论了这本关于冲突和干预中/关于冲突中的知识生产的特刊对冲突知识和专门知识学术领域的贡献：发现‘事实’，说出‘真相’。其次，它建议对这一问题的贡献进行另一种解读。本文从普遍的认识方式在特定时期总是受到更广泛的物质和思想结构的影响这一假设出发，追溯了当代新自由主义对西方社会，更具体地说，在西方学术界对一般知识生产结构的影响，然后通过这一棱镜重新解读这一专题的贡献。主要的论点是，新自由主义为独立的批判性知识留下了有限的空间，从而对人们对冲突和干预的认识产生了负面影响。文章最后提出了反身性学术在新自由主义时代的一些任务。
This article has a twofold aim. First, it discusses the contributions to the scholarly field of conflict knowledge and expertise in this special issue on Knowledge production in/about conflict and intervention: finding 'facts', telling 'truth'. Second, it suggests an alternative reading of the issue's contributions. Starting from the assumption that prevalent ways of knowing are always influenced by wider material and ideological structures at specific times, the article traces the influence of contemporary neoliberalism on general knowledge production structures in Western societies, and more specifically in Western academia, before re-reading the special issue's contributions through this prism. The main argument is that neoliberalism leaves limited space for independent critical knowledge, thereby negatively affecting what can be known about conflict and intervention. The article concludes with some tasks for reflexive scholarship in neoliberal times.
