Academic writing and identity constructions: performativity, space and territory in academic workplaces

This title presents multiple cultural and contextual takes on working performances of academic/writer/thinker, both inside and outside the academy.

With worldwide, seismic shifts taking place in both the contexts and terrains of universities, and subsequently the altering of what it means to write as an academic and work in academia, the editors and contributors use writing to position and re-position themselves as academics, thinkers and researchers.

Using as a point of departure universities and academic/writing work contexts shaped by the increasing dominance of commodification, measurement and performativity, this volume explores responses to these evolving, shifting contexts.
