Popis: This chapter argues that these silly ideas are far from benign or harmless. It looks at the way in which universities, on the one hand, champion and fabricate alien and ultimately unhelpful forms of competition between academics, while on the other hand, severely undermining and impugning notions of collegiality and collaboration that are indigenous to academic work, by creating ‘rock star’ academic researchers as a way of ‘gaming’ other universities in the quest to pass off fake hierarchies as if they represented ‘real’ academic worth.
