Evaluating higher education institutions--particularly the rising "global university"--and their rapidly changing role in the global era, Gigi Roggero finds the system in crisis. In his groundbreaking book, The Production of Living Knowledge, Roggero examines the university system as a workplace from the viewpoint of labor-capital relations and analyzes its "cognitive capitalism"--the transformations of the university and knowledge production as a form of contemporary global capital. Based on extensive fieldwork carried out through an investigative and analytic approach known as conricerca, or "co-research," wherein researchers are also subjects, Roggero situates the crisis of the university within the contemporary global economic crisis. Combining a discussion of innovative collective experiments with autonomist Marxist (or post-Operaista) social theory, Roggero confronts both these challenges, producing a distinctly transnational and methodologically innovative critique of the global university. In light of new student struggles in the United States, this first English-language edition is particularly timely.
