Malena Gustavson and Jane Simon The implementation of new economic performance models as standard for organising work in universities has turned the academic task from providing knowledge, as critique in service for public good, to knowledge as production that is validated when measured. Teachers and students find themselves immersed in a narrative of the repeated mantras of efficiency and saving, slimming and trimming. This special issue on `Academic Work Cultures' guest edited by Nikki Sullivan and Jane Simon explores how the somatechnics of the shift from a collegial organisation to a managerial one is not only a matter of a top-down structure that reflects neoliberal desires, but increasingly also a question of how these fantasies of accomplishment transform into personal affects and health issues. In our general section we are pleased to include Tendayi Sithole's article which engages with Fanon's interventions in colonial psychiatry.
