ABSTRACT
Within a neoliberal moral culture, authors often learn that they have to be prepared to make transitions at any time and that they need to be flexible and ready to change because the authors no longer live in an economy that allows people have a single job or career. Neoliberalism was to bring distinct shifts in relationships of teaching and learning in British universities as they become subject to neoliberal market logics and were reorganised across corporate lines. Universities were to change again as students became the major source of income. Academic work had to be revisioned within time-cycles of appraisal, and longer-term projects tended to be discouraged. An intellectual culture framed through anti-humanism can also encourage instrumental and externalised relationships with self, being assured that experience and subjectivities were effects of discursive practices.
