SUMMARY:

The analyses developed in this research take as a starting point the centrality of the category of work, through the Marxist tradition, in order to understand its relationship with health from the perspective of capital, revealing that its destructive character is expressed in the degradation of workers' health. Thus, the evidence of work-related health problems, condensed in the current situation, is also reflected in the uniqueness of teaching workers who are faced with flexible and precarious working conditions, combined with high productivity demands, causing overload and making them more susceptible to illness. In this way, this study aims to analyze the health-disease process of teaching workers, in the face of precarious work, productivism and illness in Brazilian federal public universities. From a methodological point of view, this qualitative research involves theoretical and empirical investigation, based on the assumptions of historical and dialectical materialism. In view of this, the research is structured in three chapters. The first deals with the critique of the concept of work, in its particular form in the capitalist mode of production, which makes it possible to understand the issue of workers' health and to problematize the constitution of the field of workers' health. The second chapter will look at the transformations that have taken place in labor relations in the face of the structural crisis of capital and its consequences (productive restructuring, neoliberalism and financialization) in Brazil, in view of the historical processes that have built up workers' health care in the country. And in the third section, the causes of illness (burdens and wear and tear) arising from the relationships established in teaching work will be analyzed, which permeate precariousness and productivism in the context of the commercialization of higher education.
