This essay aims at rescuing some aspects of Guerreiro Ramos, Tragtenberg, and Prestes Motta’s thinking. It highlights how the critical posture and questioning of these authors remain updated when one analyzes the role of the researcher, the influence of burocratic organization in present society, the apparent ingenuousness of administration – hidden behind administrative harmonies and fake participation – and the relevance of considering fundamental aspects of the national culture. The starting point for the development of this work is the experience of the authors who, despite having different life history, share similar anxieties while moving within the academic and organizational circle. A world where there are allowed questions, "relevant" themes, where those who do not inherit or assume an apprentice attitude, bowing to the "achiever’s rules", are continuously questioned.
