Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The tensions between academic capitalism and ethical subjectivation in universities are discussed in Chapter 5 through the contrast of two different types of stories about the university. The first is the university as a ‘moral concentration camp’, where research and education are part of biopolitical neoliberalism and its valuations of worthy/unworthy, beneficial/non-beneficial etc. The second is the university as ‘a public library’ where knowledge is shared and passed on for free to future generations. These stories express very different ideas of the ‘university’. The first uses what we call storyselling. It expresses the corporatisation of the self in the neoliberal academy and works through affective subjectivation. The second uses storytelling as an element in ethical self-formation. We argue that these two contradictory forces are simultaneously present in the work of the self on the self by which academics manage and organise their professional work lives. Resistance to academic capitalism is associated with storytelling. The problem as we see it is that storytelling resistance increasingly relies on the work of the self on the self while effective resistance requires the creation of more collective spaces where people can come together.
