Redefining The Professional Identity Of The University Professor In The Age Of Intelligent Systems: A Critical Sociological Analysis Of The Profession’s Symbolic Transformation.
Authors : Hadadou Fatima .
Abstract
This article explores the redefinition of the university professor’s professional identity amid the growing dominance of intelligent systems and the rapid digital transformations reshaping higher education. Adopting a critical sociological perspective, it conceptualizes professional identity as a social and symbolic construct situated within a field structured by relations of power, legitimacy, and recognition. The study contends that intelligent systems have neither eliminated nor marginalized the professor’s role; rather, they have destabilized its traditional foundations, particularly those grounded in the monopoly of knowledge and epistemic authority. The ongoing transformation is fundamentally symbolic, manifested in the redistribution of symbolic capital within the academic field and a shift in professional legitimacy from epistemic authority to knowledge mediation, interactive competence, and professional reflexivity. This transition creates new opportunities to reconstruct academic identity on more flexible, ethically grounded, and human-centered foundations aligned with the evolving demands of contemporary digital education.
