Abstract	Introduction -- Conceptual Foundations: Karen Barad's Agential Realism -- Ratings and Rankings as Apparatuses -- The NSS as a Disciplinary and Neo-Liberal Hybrid -- Divide and Rule: The NSS as an Antagonistic Governmentality -- Governmental Apparatuses of Bodily Production -- Conclusion - Solidarity, Accelerationism and Utopia. "This important work critically investigates the use of rating and ranking systems in higher education, to show how they govern the academic population through the creation of competition and antagonism. Engaging with current debates around 'value', tuition fees, and the role of higher education in society, this is fascinating reading for advanced students and academics in psychology, education, sociology, and philosophy"--Provided by publisher.
