The Alienation of Scholarship in Modern Business Schools: From Marxist Material Relations to the Lacanian Subject
本文从马克思主义和拉康精神分析视角，提出商学院学者在新自由主义大学中不仅经历劳动与产品的分离，还被迫享受这一过程，并建议通过批判性提问来异化这种异化。
In this essay, we theorize the fragmented nature of the alienation experienced by management scholars working in neoliberal universities. We argue that management scholars not only suffer from the detachment of labor from product (e.g., research and teaching) as material economic relations determine, but by adding a psychoanalytic perspective, we claim that they also must enjoy this process as a necessity of a neoliberal logic that reinforces anxiety. Hence, we argue that alienation should be approached as a potential to fulfill when considering troubling production relations in business schools. In terms of the implications addressing primarily our colleagues, we suggest hystericizing our alienation from our labor with simple acts of critique in management education and research. In other words, by hystericizing, we mean not only asking questions to produce more knowledge for the market, but also always staying in a questioning mode and being dissatisfied with the answers.
