ABSTRACT In this paper, we examine the process of decomposition as well as the struggle for recomposition of academic labor, which we understand as a contradictory positionality within so-called “gig academy.” Ours is a rhetorical intervention to, first of all, explicitly connect contemporary working conditions in academia to the general process of neoliberalization; second, illustrate how online education platforms (or LMS) mediate important aspects of the academic labor process; and third, reflect on how these dynamics make faculty unionizing both urgent and particularly challenging.

反对零工学术界：在线教育中的连通性、脱身和斗争

摘要 在本文中，我们考察了分解过程以及为重新组合学术劳动而进行的斗争，我们将其理解为所谓的“零工学院”中的矛盾定位。我们是修辞干预，首先，明确地将学术界的当代工作条件与新自由化的一般过程联系起来；其次，说明在线教育平台（或 LMS）如何调解学术劳动过程的重要方面；第三，反思这些动态如何使教师工会变得既紧迫又特别具有挑战性。
