LIBERATO, Mariana Tavares Cavalcanti. Withstand to research, research to withstand: building an affective sustainability at the university. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) []. 2020, 26, 1, pp.436-451. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n1p426-440.

The growing requirement for scientific research has already become a daily procedure at the universities of our country, especially those who maintain a significant set of stricto sensu training courses. The goal of this article is to discuss this demand, exploring two angles of the concept of resistance: the resistance needed to receive and deal with the bureaucratic requirements present in the act of researching and resistance designed in the possibilities of turning researches into a living exercise of thought. These two angles, which coexist in our historical time, bring to researchers the challenge of creating a research practice allied to social transformation, but also connected to the experience of affections and their developments. At the end of the study, it will be possible to show that the practice of research implies bureaucratic dimensions, but goes far beyond them, witnessing also the relevance of graduating sensitive researchers, able to receive and analyze social realities in an affective and contextualized way.
