BETWEEN THE DISCOURSE (OF DEMANDING) AND THE TEACHING (OF NON EXISTENCE): THE ACADEMIC MEMORIAL AS THE ACHILLES HEEL OF ACADEMIC SELF-ASSESSMENT

Abstract

In Public Management Models, Rennó (2019) spells out the various steps that the public service has gone through: from patrimonialism, focused on the personality of the Ruler, to “Public Service Orientation” (PSO), a public management model that, unlike patrimonialism, assumes the principle of “accountability” or “accountability”. In this sense, the idea of ​​'accountability' was eventually established (albeit still incipiently in some places, and with so many ferocious holders), especially in academia. But how should this accountability be done? If we consider the processes of functional advancement of higher education at a public university in the state of Ceará, the written document that must be held accountable should be an academic memorial (Oliveira, 2005). We suppose that this genre materializes, despite being maginalized, through its writing, and with the university professors, the discourse of “accountability”, since, in the academic memorial, the higher education teacher of a public university must justify (accountability) ) of their activities (teaching, research, extension and university administration) to have granted their functional ascension. We aim, therefore, through a kind of interview (or an essay with questions and answers), based on real questions, with short questions and answers (when possible), these built mainly from the work of Oliveira (2005) and in subsequent reflections, reflecting on the memorial, a text that, despite its importance for academic “success”, for its debut and continuity, is still an underrated, if not marginalized, genre by the academy.
