Prostituição acadêmica — bibliografia

Publicação acadêmica como prostituição é o título de um artigo publicado em 2002 pelo economista suíço Bruno Frey, onde ele indica que autores/pesquisadores só conseguem ter seus artigos científicos aceitos se intelectualmente prostituírem-se, servilmente seguindo as exigências feitas por pareceristas anônimos.

Como a academia se assemelha aos traficantes de drogas é o título de outro texto, do economista político Alexandre Afonso, publicado em 2013, que explica como a academia está estruturada em muitos aspectos como uma gangue de drogas, com uma massa crescente de pessoas do lado de fora e um núcleo cada vez menor de pessoas no lado de dentro. Apesar do risco de morte por rivais, prisão ou espancamento dentro de sua própria hierarquia, as quadrilhas não têm nenhuma dificuldade no recrutamento de novos membros. A razão para isso é que a perspectiva de riqueza futura, ao invés da renda atual real e as condições de trabalho, é o principal motor para as pessoas permanecerem no negócio.

Estes dois artigos são trabalhos complexos que trazem títulos chamativos, convergindo para um problema maior: o modelo de governança acadêmica e seus efeitos no trabalho dos pesquisadores. Foi pensando sobre estas e outras coisas que escrevi uma tese, defendida em 2014 no HCTE/UFRJ, na tentativa de traçar um panorama sobre as tensões que afetam os acadêmicos hoje (produtividade, em suma). Fui orientado pelo Mércio Gomes, que abraçou a causa desde o início, e contei com o imenso incentivo de Gregory Chaitin e Ricardo Kubrusly, três gênios.

O vídeo abaixo é de uma apresentação que fiz atendendo convite do grande Luíz Milanesi da ECA/USP para falar sobre as motivações da pesquisa. Talvez eu já tenha desistido da academia e seja um descompromissado, o dilema do prisioneiro encontra com a síndrome do impostor. Meu voto é pela implosão do sistema. Outras pessoas estão trabalhando pela reversão do sistema operando dentro dele. Acho que a conversa em torno do tema é interessante e pode trazer uma solução.

Abaixo uma lista de textos e links que compilei ao longo da construção da tese. Não são os artigos científicos formais, que compõem o grosso das referências da tese propriamente. As duas listas juntas oferecem uma bibliografia razoável para interessados no assunto. Os links abaixo não possuem uma categorização específica, estão apresentados em ordem cronológica, do mais recente para o mais antigo.
