ALMEIDA, Danilo Di Manno de. O silêncio dos docentes: uma nova configuração?. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.27, pp.301-318. ISSN 1981-0431.

The present essay brings a philosophical interrogation with regards to what is described as a silent existential condition of the professor. The author tries to find the traces of the configuration of the silent professor. When there is no longer evidence of an ostensible and explicit silencing, why is there still silence of the professor? Such an investigation tries to examine the ethic and political renouncement of the word, analyze the effective dimension of the professor’s action, in its abrasion and correlative feeling of existential deficit. The author attempts to deepen the hypothesis that the present silencing of the professor has become a modus vivendi, which requires from us efforts to understand the institutional and existential implications of the effective work of teaching. Which can suggest discouragement with respect to the possibilities of overcoming the effective conditions of the teaching work, brings out to us as possibilities of transformation of the adverse conditions, thanks to the silent background of our experience and of the human body.

Keywords : Teaching; Body; Silence; Formation; Existence; Effectiveness.
