Managing activities and activity management: management as a deviationa

This article aims to analyze the work processes of professors from a narrative position, reinforcing a specific research policy. The goal was to analyze what is produced by faculty work. The narrative procedure, even if originated from an individual case, is the catalyst of the situations and, as a collective organizer of the enunciation, does not refer to an individual. In order to create this exercise, we brought three analysis pillars: the biopolitical modulations demonstrated in the current way of working; the approximation of a professor when performing his work; and the demonstration of how their creation must be thought in respect to public policies. In that regard, the text is based in some contributions by M. Foucault regarding the analysis of contemporary work, indicating relevant inflection on the way occupational psychology has been applied. The analysis performed from our experience with professor, indicates the importance of investing in work management as a clinical matter, as a deviation, which is formed amidst power relationships and the need to break free from what is currently established in work environments.
