The aim of this study is to analyze how teacher work, developed by professors from
University Federal of Pará, materializes the counter-reform of higher education that has as
one of its centrality privatization/commodification of public university. Believes that research
on college teaching job, changed depending on the counter-reform of higher education
process requires an understanding of the social totality, with its structural and cyclical
conditions, ie, inserted into the capitalist mode of production. Thus, analyzes the teacher
work, without disregarding its nature and specificity, while fraction of the class-who-lives-ofwork,
in the context of capital's structural crisis and the consequent restructuring process, with
the establishment of the regime of accumulation flexible. Highlights the process of counterreform
of Brazilian higher education, guided by international organizations, especially the
World Bank, and made effective from the current LDB. Thesis presents as hypothesis that it is
mainly through the teacher work that the counter-reform of higher education is effective, and
in this process, teachers identify changes in their work as a result of
privatization/commodification of public university, however, in a manner hegemonic do not
perceive that these modifications are articulated in capitalist societal structure, legitimizing
thus the same. Thus, based on theoretical and methodological supports the historical and
dialectical materialism, analyses the design of university employees (from indicators such as:
democracy, autonomy, service, relationship and university market) to understand the
fundamentals of the political-ideological work done by university professors. We used
statistical data, documents and interviews with teachers of the University Federal of Pará,
analyzed on the basis of assumptions Bakhtin, Discourse Analysis. In sum, the research
confirmed the hypothesis developed Thesis announced, with the addition of the following
conclusion: the university teaching work is within the context of the class struggle and,
therefore, this resistance also implies the reaffirmation of a free public university, directly
linked to the interests of the class-who-lives-of-work.
