Abstract
Creating space for reflection and creativity is problematic in the new corporatised university. This chapter explores the concepts of the ‘technopreneurial’ or ‘militarized knowledge factory’ of the privatising public university and what that means for the future of universities. Adopting aspects of resistance theory and notions from creativity theory this chapter aims to generate vision for ways to break the mould of a constraining neoliberalised space. Ideas for community, including using Community of Practice concepts, and other creative responses are proposed as possibilities to disrupt the drive to produce slaves of production. The creation of reflection time, pleasure and personal wellbeing for academics and why this might be essential are addressed?
