En este ensayo autoetnográfico busco exponer de qué manera las presiones burocrático-productivistas son dañinas para el bienestar físico y emocional de quienes habitamos la academia. Ante ello, sostengo que el cuidado, que es relacional y colectivo, puede ser una forma de resistencia y soporte ante el asedio burocrático-neoliberal en las instituciones.
In this autoethnographic essay, I seek to show how bureaucratic-productivist pressures are detrimental to the physical and emotional well-being of those of us who inhabit academia. In response, I argue that care, as a relational and collective practice, can serve as a form of resistance and support against the neoliberal assault on academic institutions.
