Abstract

The paper presents the case of “Rocco”, who at 50 years old, lost his employment as Senior lecturer and now teaches precariously at three universities in the Czech Republic (two state and one private). Through the Rocco’s narration we look at the transformation of the Czech academic system at the turn of the millenium and at the acceptance of the Neoliberal ideology even among those academics associated with the sectors of philology and anthropology. The making light of the case of Rocco would be a good example of “Personal is Political” especially if we consider the political background of the respondent and his decision to reject politics when he started his academic career.
