Docência e pós-graduação stricto sensu : neoliberalismo e processos de subjetivação.

Abstract

The professors of the post-graduation program have a logic of fierce work, marked by productivity. Since the years 96/97, the state agency for financing, regulation and control, CAPES, is responsible for the evaluation of stricto sensu graduate studies. From this, the quantitative criteria of academic production were intensified. The present study seeks to understand the effects of this evaluative logic – understood here as neoliberal – on the modes of subjectivation of stricto sensu graduate teachers. To this end, cartography was used as proposed by Deleuze and Guattar and for data production the field diary and individual interviews were used. The research took place with the stricto sensu graduate professors of a master's program at a University in the South of Brazil, in total, 14 subjects participated. To follow the narratives and the fields of forces that compose it, we dialogued with Foucauldian and Deleuzian studies. Finally, from the analysis of the data, two markers of analysis emerged: "Professors of graduate studies and the company form", which discusses how these are subjectified by this logic, operating from a constant search for investment in itself, (re)producing a company form, which is marked by the competitive intensification of the business logic. And the "Teaching: lines of escapes and forms of life", addresses how teachers invent ways of being in teaching, composing other ways of life in the exercise of the function, even if crossed by the requirement of productivity.
