  1. Dispossessing academics: The shift to ‘appropriation’ in the governing of academic life.John Welsh - 2020 - European Journal of Social Theory 23 (3):350-369.
    This article offers a critical theoretical exploration of the transformation of academic life that is currently taking place under the sign of ‘neoliberalization’. The main aim is to differentiate appropriation from exploitation as strategies of surplus labour dispossession, to identify the growth of appropriative techniques in academic life, and to situate the proliferation of such techniques in the broader transformations of global political economy. Alloyed with poststructuralist social theory, the historical materialist thrust of the article demonstrates how, in the technologically (...)

  • Bring the Pain? An Examination of Human Suffering in Sartre’s Being and NothingnessRoss A. Jackson & Brian L. Heath - 2024 - Open Journal of Philosophy 14 (1):18-37.

  • Neoliberalism and culture in higher education: On the loss of the humanistic character of the university and the possibility of its reconstitution.Vangelis Giannakakis - 2019 - Studies in Philosophy and Education 39 (4):365-382.

The paper opens with a brief comparison between the humanistic education founded on the idea of culture and its modern-day neoliberal form, with the help of José Ortega y Gasset’s reflections on the mission of higher education. It then discusses certain aspects of the historical development of libraries and of the figure of the public intellectual with a view to bringing into (...)

  • (1 other version)Wicked Problems in a Post-truth Political Economy: A Dilemma for Knowledge Translation.Matthew Tieu - 2023 - Humanities and Social Sciences Communications 10 (280).
    The discipline of knowledge translation (KT) emerged as a way of systematically understanding and addressing the challenges of applying health and medical research in practice. In light of ongoing and emerging critique of KT from the medical humanities and social sciences disciplines, KT researchers have become increasingly aware of the complexity of the translational process, particularly the significance of culture, tradition and values in how scientific evidence is understood and received, and thus increasingly receptive to pluralistic notions of knowledge. Hence, (...)
