Synopsis: |
This text explores what is happening to the work of academics worldwide. It examines the evidence (and the arguments) on the way in which academic labour is being reconstructed, transformed and reorganized in response to the global restructuring of capitalism. It suggests that not only are new sets of social relationships being forged in the workplace of academia, but new and complex paradoxes, dilemmas and contradictions are emerging. The contributors conclude that there has been a major shift from indirect forms of control to more ideological forms that work through the discourse of the corporatist notions of quality, excellence, output, efficiency and effectiveness. |
