Abstract | The magic of the market -- Setting the scene -- Corporate simulacra -- A climate of fear -- Rituals, talismans and templates -- Performance and ritual -- Kinship, collegiality and witchcraft -- Secrecy, publicity, confusion and power -- The zombies of corporate academia -- Sacrifices and suffering -- Smoke and mirrors and wind money. "Universities and the Occult Rituals of the Corporate World explores the metaphorical parallels between corporatised, market-oriented universities and aspects of the occult. In the process, the book shows that the forms of mystery, mythmaking and ritual now common in restructured institutions of higher education stem from their new power structures and procedures, and the economic and sociopolitical factors that have generated them" --Provided by publisher. |
