Abstract	It can be said that there is a large literature on the metamorphosis in the direction of marketization brought about by capitalist globalization in the academic field. In the aforementioned literature, it is stated that the academy operates more and more with the rules of the capitalist market and therefore academic study, education and training become more instrumental to market purposes. Just as it is insufficient to describe the market and market-centered transformation with the "invisible hand" metaphor in order to hide the market actors in the economic field, it is just as inadequate to describe the metamorphosis in the academic field without considering the academic identity. In this sense, it is necessary to evaluate the market-oriented transformation in the academic field together with the metamorphosis and erosion of academic identity. Academics, like other social identities, become subjects through the Althusserian "interpellations of dominant ideologies" or their identities are constructed in the context of Foucauldian power relations. While academics are subject to this procedure, they also become subject to this process. In order to survive in this ambiguous operation, academics try to resist the interpellations of the dominant ideology in the academic field and the dominant capitalist market ideologies and conditions in the social field, on the other hand, they try to transform these conditions that make them subordinated. Problematizing the collective identities of academics/scientists who identify with social transformation, autonomy and emancipation is critical to understanding and trying to overcome this dilemma. This study is based on and begins with the analysis of the dominant ideology and its interpellations theorized by Althusser. (As Provided).
