Kamola3, Jonneke Koomen4 , and Alex Prichard5 Abstract Is it possible to write a publishable, peer-reviewed academic paper in a day? We attempted this task in 2016, motivated by a desire to find new ways of doing academic work in the face of our growing sense of alienation within the neoliberal academy. This article provides our analysis of academic alienation and an auto-ethnography of our experiment. We discuss four lessons learned: (I) knowledge as a social relation, (2) time and the academy, (3) gender and collaborative writing, and (4) the contradictions and possibilities of anarchy and authorship. We also offer practical advice for scholars looking to engage in similar collaborations.

Our manuscript, Liberal Pacification and the Phenomenology of Violence, was officially going to see the light of day nearly two years after we began the project in a computer lab on the campus of the University of Southampton (Baron et al., 2019). This paper has a strange origin story. It was the product of an experiment in coauthorship and an absurdly ambitious effort to write a peer-reviewable academic article in one day. Our motivations for undertaking this project flowed from a shared sense of alienation from our academic work.
