We live in a corporate state and corporatism is always in danger of turning fascist. One of the signs, in my opinion, is what Heidegger called “an atmosphere of incisiveness”, i.e., the idea that we’ve got to “get out there” and “get our teeth into it” and “get the thing done”. Something important is lost when this mood prevails in a university. And it is lost as people of a particular stamp, i.e., “scholars”, are marginalized, and people of a different stamp, i.e., “researchers”, take their place.
