Abstract
This article describes how the copycat implementation of foreign protocols of assessment is transforming the
production of knowledge within the Italian social sciences. Focusing on the gatekeeping process whereby the national agency for
the evaluation of university research (ANVUR) publishes yearly lists of "Class‑A" journals, my analysis draws on interviews,
first-hand observations, my own experience as a returning migrant-scholar, as well as comparisons with historical Italian
journals. My aim is twofold: on the one hand, I reflect on the parallel misrecognition of scale and context underlying neoliberal
capitalism; on the other hand, I describe the paradoxes of excellence and the forms of reflexive alienation engendered by the
contemporary knowledge economy.
