The paper exposes the constitutive nexuses of the UFP’s reorganization amidst political ramifications within the Brazilian nation, with the mediations and historical processes that these changes have been hiding and developing in the teaching occupation. The reification emerges as an explanatory category of this process, presenting, as its substance, policies such as teaching performance evaluation and career progression as defining aspects of the academic production.
