Abstract

The capitalist commodity is the dominant form of wealth in the current society, but not the only one. We use the commodification process of higher education and research as an experiment to observe the devises that support such a transformation of social form. This is then a constructivist approach of value: the value has to be constructed and supported has representation of wealth to product material effects. If value is central for the market, at an institutional level, it's on the productive sphere that we mainly track its construction and effects, within organisations. We study the devises of quantification of academic work as means of extension of the commodity fetishism on the production and transmission of knowledge.
