Abstract
In this chapter, Bansel and Linnell take up the theme of the production of monstrous desire in the academia machine. They come together with their inventions, call centre worker/aspiring university student ‘Terre Cherie’ and aging junior academic ‘Ed U. K. Shone’, to form the ranting-and-rapping machine known as ‘Terre Cherie—Ed U. K. Shone’. Taking a line of flight away from the same old track record, through proliferating brand-new numbers such as The Innovation Sensation, Election Hip-Hope and Rejoinder Rap(ture), these four actors stutter and stumble their ways through a landscape where every peak achievement turns out to be yet another plateau. Through their rappin’ and extrapolatin’—they (hip)hope to recalibrate the machinery through which they perform themselves as unbecoming academics. But will the monster that they have created consume them through its bottomless desire for recognition and love?
