摘要: This paper examines the relationship between metrics, markets and affect in contemporary UK academy. It argues that emergence of a particular structure feeling amongst academics last few years has been closely associated with growth development ‘quantified control’. functioning range metrics: citations; workload models; transparent costing data; research assessments; teaching quality commercial university league tables. these others, although still embedded within an audit culture, increasingly function autonomously as data assemblage able not just to mimic but, increasingly, enact them. concludes by posing some questions about possible implications this for future academic practice.
