ABSTRACT:       This paper examines the relationship between metrics,
markets and affect in the contemporary UK academy. It argues that the
emergence of a particular structure of feeling amongst academics in the
last few years has been closely associated with the growth and
development of quantified control. It examines the functioning of a range
of metrics: citations; workload models; transparent costing data;
research assessments; teaching quality assessments; and commercial
university league tables. It argues that these metrics, and others,
although still embedded within an audit culture, increasingly function
autonomously as a data assemblage able not just to mimic markets but,
increasingly, to enact them. It concludes by posing some questions about
the possible implications of this for the future of academic practice.
