Dualité des conventions de la valeur et marchandisation de l’université

Abstract: The capitalist commodity is the dominant form of wealth in today?s society, but it is not the only one. We use the commodification of higher education and research as an experiment to observe the devices that support such a transformation of social form. This is a constructivist approach to value: value has to be constructed and supported as a representation of wealth to produce a market of higher education and research at an institutional level. However, it is mainly on the level of production within organizations that we examine its construction and effects. We study methods of quantification of academic work as a means of extending this commodity fetishism to the production and transmission of knowledge.
