OLIVEIRA, Sandro de  e  BORGES, Martha Kaschny. Productivity and performance: the men's time and the men without time. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.1, pp.123-142. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v40i3.36462.

This paper seeks to incite some reflections about the relationship between man and time. Methodologically, the text takes on a qualitative approach supported by literature research. Initially, the author mentions the power exercised by an instrument originally designed to serve humanity: the clock. Then, present elements that indicate how the relationship between human and time produces several acceptances, contradictions and breaks in modern society. The paper discusses the relationship between time in modernity and concepts of work, consumption, productivity and performance. Finally, the text denounces the existence of social and economic forces that promote dictatorship of "productivity and performance" within the academy. Even, these forces show themselves insensitive to adverse consequences both for research as for academic production.

Palavras-chave : Productivity and Performance; Time and Clock; Work and Human Consumption; Academic Productivism.
