| Summary: | Academic career-making in the era of globalizing knowledge and a globalized
knowledge enterprise is not only an individual undertaking but also a social process. It
impacts individual academicians as they meet requirements, secure resources, find
opportunities, follow procedures, and build structures to make their careers. It has
consequences for society as it establishes institutions, opens markets, provides media,
creates values, and enforces rules to connect individual academicians and their products to
the larger social system. This paper explores academic careers, and career-making as
knowledge and the knowledge enterprise become globally hegemonic. Specifically, it
examines how academic career-making makes demands on individuals in the form of
brainwashing, emotion rechanneling, life-simplifying, and social isolation. It also
investigates how academic careers place constraints over individuality by way of
socialization, massing, fashion, and lifestyle. |
