O pathos docente em narrativas: relações entre trabalho, subjetividades docentes e adoecimento psíquico

Abstract

This paper compiles part of PhD research in Sociology and aims to discuss work, subjectivity and teaching pathos, their manifestations and possible connections. For the development of this study we opted for a qualitative investigation, using narratives and analysis of work trajectories and stories of illness with the aim of understanding the relationships between work, suffering and psychic illness of teachers undergoing treatment in the Teacher's House/SEED-AP. From the material produced through the research, we use the notion of teacher pathos to express modes of subjectivation driven to deal with the interweaving of multiple adverse situations experienced by teachers in the existential, family and work contexts. In the stories told, experiences of precariousness, harassment of objectivist management modes, desprestígio and desidealización of the office of teaching are intertwined. Suffering and illness appear as forms of resistance and survival of teaching subjectivities.
