Fiona Murphy: When gadflies become horses: On the unlikelihood of ethical critique from the academy @FocaalBlog

"Many commentators have highlighted how, at its inception, HAU was presented as an alternative vision for anthropological publishing (Don Kalb, FocaalBlog), part of the open access movement, with much in common with the sharing economy’s attempts to disrupt and circumvent capitalist relations of production and consumption.
