Drawing on affect theory and research on academic capitalism, this
book examines the contemporary crisis of universities. Moving
through 11 international and comparative case studies, it explores
diverse features of contemporary academic life, from the
coloniality of academic capitalism to performance management and
the experience of being performance-managed. Affect has emerged as
a major analytical lens of social research. However, it is rarely
applied to universities and their marketisation. Offering a unique
exploration of the contemporary role of affect in academic labour
and the organisation of scholarship, this book considers modes of
subjectivation, professional and personal relationships and
organisational structures and their affective charges. Chapter 9 is
available Open Access via OAPEN under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
Meticulously researched, this book presents a fresh challenge to
notions that women were ultimately beyond politics in nineteenth
century Greece, by engaging with our very definitions of the terms
politics, citizenship and 'public'. Analyzing the relationship
between women and nationalism, and women and politics, the author
traces the development of some of the most important norms which
formed, and continue to shape our society. Ideas and beliefs that
we now may regard as immutable, such as the definition of politics
and gender, were novel some two hundred years ago. This new history
of women's lives, aspirations and choices in Greece demonstrates
the relativity of such value, in order to examine the question of
what constitutes 'politics' and so understand where we stand, how
we got there, and how we might change.
