today and for various reasons, right?
one of the reasons here I feel like
ufrj graduation ends here and one of my
I’m a teacher here today.
school of communication and the other is the
theme is that for me it’s very special
to be here today because I have a son
alone here in the belly and accompanying
We think that the university
We want our children. He’s here.
with me to feel this energy that goes
roll that good today I’ll talk a little
My story is to discuss this
topic and my story
she as the presenter put me
I went through ten different universities and
somehow I was looking for some
thing that I could not find any I
I graduated here and then I did
specialization masters not here in
different universities
I enrolled in three doctorates
later I thought I had not
studied enough thought I should
To go out of Brazil was to do it.
doctorate outside brazil translation of
I study also outside Brazil
then postdoctoral studies outside Brazil and
I then went on to the contest of faith rj
but when I went on the ufrj contest
As a teacher ufs a very
It was difficult that I had not
found in such a place that I
I had gone to university what I
had imagined and imagined that
University would be a place where people
to change, to talk, to discuss
I studied a lot, right?
academic university life was
full of meetings and reflections, and
that’s not what i found in any
these places I have frequented and
past contest was a little
solidification of this very difficult and
I even thought about abandoning ufrj
because what I found was completely
different from what I had imagined
it was all these academic issues
that many should live but a certain
isolation the discouraged students
teachers very discouraged to help in
class
researchers who think more of the
resource competition than
present in the research in the few exchange
Alliances power disputes
both in research for competition and
in political issues associations
very strange researchers and
teachers who associate themselves much more
by what they qualify than what they
by what they believe then
has public associations of
qualification to colleagues and
rival groups
This was very difficult for me and there.
that we end up always invent a
way to reinvent yourself
and had a very special meeting in the
my life was a place called case
a hans staden we call it that
affectionately it is a house in
botafogo that many should not know
but it is a house that works with
mental health is a therapeutic home
At this moment you must be finding
that I’m crazy right?
I work with a psychotic or
schizophrenic ct always but one
very different project very special
inspired by experiences in France is
from mild
laborde which is a house where there are windows
and the doors open 24 hours a day
frequented by very
different from psychotic park are
patients to technical therapists
academic intellectuals artists and
students and this house has a
proposal of a very
different that is not only
life for these
people said mental health but also
reflect discuss study together with all
world is interested and this involves
an experience that contemplates a
collaborative production of texts
academic articles including videos is
food together and it was there that I
I started there really finding a place
which I imagined should be the
university, this place of meetings and
I often go to many groups today
of philosophy studies and is a
which is not marked by logics such as
for example the groups are
at dawn on the weekend it’s got
a very different freedom from
any place I’ve ever been to
My life and the question is that it
marked so much that marked not only the
my personal training as what I
I wanted to be a teacher like
student with the researcher what
I wanted the university to be
somehow I tried to take this to the
university and I call this a
ethics hecker somehow I saw
this house a straight ethic and this has the
with the object of study because I
I got piracy in my master’s and
you know the hacker ethic but the
goal is a number to some values here
which first of them is the sharing
free of knowledge a logic not
owner of knowledge and
things in building a space
Common opening of both processes
information codes and this
even methodological opening, right?
total decentralization horizontality
there is no one better or worse than
nobody has no leader has not
technician
You often do not even know I
I took years in this house.
to know who was patient and customer
who was a therapist who was visiting me
was ashamed to ask too
they felt very formatted, right ?
because we just have to
discarding this type of
classification and place and olivier
knowledge to live better then
this house is studied intensely and
somehow this has influenced not
only my attitude within the
university as well as the university itself.
object of study but this I’m going to talk about
a little ahead of me then my
question was how to take this ethic
hecker inside university
to reinvent myself as well
researcher and I speak with the teacher
a little of how it happened to me
I wanted to make a reflection with you.
because we live in a time that
people hear maxims I see the students and
and many teachers and producing this
sort of thing that somehow
announce death of university
So we hear things like that.
university is no good at all, huh?
it’s really what’s important is
do
it is not totally outdated
has more social function
We have to learn by doing.
is the university is too theoretical she
always behind the market today
knowledge that is worth the knowledge
tacit is and you can
acquire this alone or seeing the other
do is to discuss concepts discussed
something theoretically theoretical
conceptually a waste of time
do not be must have heard that all
these phrases a kind of anti
intellectualism that we live and I
I just wanted to propose here to think with
you
if that’s the way it is, what’s the use of
thought for what serves the thought
critical
So we live in a time of
fast-food does well that infest study
It has to be fast we have to give
quick answers, and I ask the
will you then think
critic is no good at all
Are we in a society
where things no longer need to be
thinking of doing it the way she
it works
Okay, what’s missing is doing is everything.
management issue missing people arrive
there and run on is not accurate
question more because things have already
are moving towards the way the
people would like dinner we live
a society so we do not
need more question the reality
Is everything really a problem?
practical order of organization
Can we really think
that we will start to solve the
our problems with trial and error
the agent must copy templates that give
right
[Music]
these questions make me wonder if this
It’s true how we go.
produce the new
how can we create a
reality that does not exist yet
and if you create a new reality
creating a possible is necessary
critical thinking is precisely because
it is capable of denaturing the
reality then today’s university
there is a certain amount of pressure
labor force pressure
so people enter university
with the expectation that it will be a
place to learn to work knows
The truth is that we learn to
work working but where the people
will learn to think for me then
perhaps it is this great vocation of the
university
the university as a place of
production of critical thinking because
theory is really the big one and more
important battlefield that people are
has today it is always the field of struggle
more important because it is only through
of theory is only what
of what we can understand and
to know is that we can
perceive the world
and the other interesting vocation of
university is that at university the
people can fight is one of the places
possible to fight against the
single against the thought of the list
who would be the enemy of the
thought
So the proposal is maybe the people.
learn to make people think
and nothing more important in our country than
that this today we do not put
solutions so quick I do not know if
We need solutions now.
At this point, maybe we need
reflect first understand exactly the
which is specially going on
political context that we live today
So studying for me is for people.
live better to free the
thinking of any imprisonment
for us to create a new and
think of something so simple because
not enough you buy a book and read
the book alone or on the internet what
really available information for
everyone thinks and needs the
other you exchange you need
discuss why else do not you leave
yourself and this idea of being
revolutionary revolutionary is the
word comes from revolver revolution
to go back and turn around on
people can overcome themselves then we
needs the dialogue of small waters and
discussion does not have a very
of a philosopher who I think is very
which is the law requires it says the
thinking was never a matter of
more life theory
so the way I use it in the
UN
Happiness, I have a research group.
what do you call net light with students
wonderful people who came to this
with me and where I usually say that people
garage science
is an attempt to bring this ethics
hecker into the university though
with these waters of discussion with these
study groups with research not only
it’s meetings and we somehow
hacked university because people
subverts the university of several
ways we do not respect the
clock and neither the spaces are
traditionally placed for this purpose.
kind of activity we find ourselves
out of university weekend at
night is a work in the project of
research of the other, we’ll go
inventing a way of working from
study and think and we work
huh
tell me to be an object of study that
I’ll tell you who you are the study of networks.
micro sociology score or the
our point is to understand how the
society changes
So we usually say in our
group doing garage science is
to produce and create is to do things despite
institutions and has one of the
important concepts in our group that
I wanted to tell you that I
I learned in hans staden and try to bring
always my students that the difference
between rigor and rigidity in the university
confuses these two concepts in the
truth is not repeating the model
rigor is to resist any situation
coercive thought any
igor submission is to dedicate it
dedication honesty engagement
total in what you are doing and the
stiffness would be the opposite of rigidity is
precisely following the model
format and leave and copy
So we’re trying to get free
completely of the rigidity but to watch over
completely by the rigor
and two important concepts for the
people is the context of micro count
policy because we believe that
some way things change through
of contagion, we will be able to change
through contagion
acting different and this action will take
effects on other groups in other
students and so we are creating a
critical mass within the university or
exchange relationships that the
society changes and the concept of micro
politics here for us is very
important is to understand that it is the
The policy that we can do is
micro and politics in the sense of beauty
that is to act on the reality so
politics is said in art
possible for political people is
creating the possible is making it possible
so close
I wanted to send you a message
which is I think we live in
university today an absence of
project
but this project is complicated because
It’s really hard to believe in
university as it is today.
There are many problems
many schemes too many stiffness
the clichés and really the way XenApp
that she is she prevents us from
understand even your own
but the question is the people
I could believe another
university and maybe this other
university is this mixture of a
ethical rules of sharing and
horizontality and critical thinking
Good luck with the invitation.
[Applause]
