Abstract

Iain Boal's commentary raises important points, if not a cry to battle, in the current struggle over the commodification of knowledge and the enclosure of the academic commons. The (re)appropriation of the public space of intellectual freedom through the privatization of the "products" of the knowledge factory—research results, manuscripts, syllabi, curricula—must be read as a particular kind of transformation of social labor: that which has been short-handed as "the corporatization of the academy." To suggest that universities, through at-a-distance-learning and other forms of resource prospecting, are finally keeping pace with industry is to simply awaken to the historical relationships between the sites of (knowledge) production, labor value, and the market.
