Classements, capitalisme académique et affects des chercheurs en gestion

This is an article about performativity. In the first degree, it is about the performativity of the ratings and rankings of academic journal articles and of the rankings of universities; and in the second degree, it asks ?What social or political condition has produced the rankings and ratings?? We address this question by examining the ?academic capitalism? argument and the sociology of Bernard Stiegler. Ultimately, in the third degree, we submit that the rankings and ratings are most crucially about researcher affectivity; they create a mindset, a sense of identity, even a lebenswelt.
