The Antinomic Condition of the University: "Universal Labour" beyond "Academic Capitalism"
Pavlidis, Periklis
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v10 n2 p139-159 Oct 2012
This paper aims at identifying the characteristics acquired by the university under the regime of academic capitalism. It also attempts to put forward their antinomic relationship to the essential properties of academic activity, perceived in the light of the concept of "universal labour" introduced by Karl Marx.
