MARTINEZ FUNES, Deolidia. Work at the University: A brief introduction to a text for a fighting chance. Espac. blanco, Ser. indagaciones [online]. 2013, vol.23, n.1. ISSN 1515-9485.

From the un-thought to the un-said at the end of the salary and foreseeability era, we pose a non-pessimistic philosophical thinking, in a search of new senses for the world of university's work. It includes ourselves, speaking from within the subject that we are constituting, opening a debate, willing to fight. As survivors of the end of the Twentieth Century and the fall of the Capital civilization purposes, from within the monster of the delayed Capitalism. We constructed a 40-year brief history of studies on teacher's work at primary schools. Now we dare to follow this breach researching about the work of professors at the universities, and also that of the "othier"who is named in many ways: the public clerk, the technicians, the administrative workers, or just the "non-teachers" (no-docentes) as the term that has prevailed in Argentina -without interpreting of the negative prefix. In a more and more visible parallel, the hypothesis sustained for those studies on teacher's work (since the second half of 20th century) is kept, that is, the access is the suffering outbreak, for labor health accounts for it. At present, some statistics reveal cardiological and vascular (CVA) diseases in young professors at the universities of our continent. They are silent clinical pictures that blow up without warning and finish with the time and the movements of the subject. For more than 20 years we have described the "teacher's malaise" (malestar docente) as a form to express neglect in the educative system; today the issue presents a more serious form and, as always, the body speaks... It is necessary to get it listened to.
