How the language and culture are transformed into private property in the transition from industrial capitalism to cognitive capitalism. Universities have recently been transformed by the practice of evaluation and ranking on a global scale.This allows to control the fluctuations in the value of their products. While the University of industrial capitalism was a great national institute of translation to and from a national language, publications on the net giving the right to intellectual property are in global English. This language allows a maximum pollination of knowledge but it leads to privatization and the limitation of national cultural production.
