ABSTRACT:
The teacher was never a highly valued professional in Brazilian society throughout the educational history, especially with the precariousness that plagued the teaching profession in the mid-twentieth century and, especially, from the 1990s, with the strengthening of neoliberalism, which brought an extreme intensification on your activities and your life. Specifically, the research-professors, who in this research are those who accumulate activities in undergraduate and stricto sensu postgraduate programs concomitantly, and who are usually subjected to the “trap” of productivism to gain recognition and funding. Given this, the theme of this dissertation covers the mediations, apparent or not, that establish between the work intensification of the teacher-researcher and his illness. Aimed to investigate whether and how the conflicting situation that emerged interferes with the health of the research professors of the Federal University of Goiás/Jataí Regional (UFG/REJ). A qualitative empirical research was conducted in the first semester of 2017, with fifteen teachers who meet the criteria established in the work and the data obtained were discussed based on the assumptions of historical and dialectical materialism in a perspective that seeks to clarify how much the understanding of the work category. It's essential for man to become a human being emancipated from the blind alienation that falls on his shoulders. However, in capitalist society, human labor, that is, its vital activity, is converted into a commodity and sold as a necessary labor force to survive, a situation that inevitably leads to the worker's alienation in the labor process and in the relationship with the product of your activity. To promote the analysis, we used authors who have the critical eye and who also rely on historical and dialectical materialism formulated by K. Marx and F. Engels, in the nineteenth century, as: G. Lukács, I. Mészáros, D. Saviani, G. Frigotto, N. Duarte, V. Sguissardi and J. Silva Júnior. As main discussions resulting from this research is important to note that most intervieweds know that they extrapolate their workloads, are distant from their family and friends, but do not see themselves torn from the intensity of teaching activities to which they are submitted, after all through productions, research, and publications that compete for better funding for new research. As a consequence, it was possible to realize that most of them are or have already been sick in some way, and one aspect that drew attention was the need to resort to alcohol, drugs or even a greater intensification of teaching activities as a resource to cope with this situation, which decisively affects your mental and physical health increasingly. Trying to understand the contradictions that constitutes the motivations and justifications given to stay in the “game” intensifying the teaching work, is the purpose of the research. This dissertation was developed in the Educational Policies, Management and Teacher Training Research Line.
