Resumo: This one-act play employs a comic-satirical dramaturgical approach, drawing inspiration from the Theatre of the Absurd, to explore the normalization of precarious work in universities. Set in a contemporary Brazilian public university during a department meeting, the act focuses on the artificiality, fragmented perspectives, and underlying hypocrisy embedded within the characters' discourses. The interactions between these fictional subjects expose historical, social, and ideological issues related to the academic environment, particularly concerning the treatment of university workers. The protagonist challenges the administration's demands for increased workload, which conflict with their contractual agreement. When requesting exemption from these excessive workloads, his demand is redirected to the personal field, as something to be dealt with in the private sphere, obfuscating the collective dimension of the issue. The conversations within the meeting are permeated by strategies that aim to ridicule him, revealing an ideology that systematically denies the labour rights of public servants (out of alienation, cynicism, or nihilism) and represses the ability to critically evaluate the present and plan for the future – aligning with contemporary neo-fascist tendencies.

A constelação de sujeitos ficcionais, em suas relações, faz emergir questões históricas, sociais e ideológicas, afins ao universo letrado. O argumento é a normalização da precarização do trabalho nas universidades. O protagonista, participante da luta sindical contra a hiperexploração e o adoecimento docente, reivindica a compatibilização entre sua jornada laboral e contratual; ao solicitar dispensa dos encargos excedentes, sua demanda é reendereçada ao campo pessoal, como algo a ser tratado na esfera privada, obnubilando a dimensão coletiva da questão. As interlocuções foram permeadas por estratégias que visavam ridicularizá-lo, revelando um ideário – que nega sistematicamente os direitos trabalhistas dos servidores públicos (por alienação, cinismo ou niilismo) e reprime a capacidade de criticar o presente e planejar o futuro – afim aos neofascismos contemporâneos.Unioeste2024-04-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://e-revista.unioeste.br/index.php/travessias/article/view/3214810.48075/rt.v18i1.32148Travessias; Vol. 18 No. 1 (2024); e32148Travessias; Vol. 18 Núm. 1 (2024); e32148Travessias; v. 18 n. 1 (2024); e321481982-5935reponame:Travessias (Cascavel.
