Ensaio sobre a página em branco: o processo de escrita acadêmica em Direito e seus bastidores – o que podemos aprender com a Literatura

Abstract

With the ascension of the academic productivism, it is necessary to expand our levels of understanding about the backstage of the academic writing process in Law. Analysing the psicosocial conditions that presuppose the writing craft, we diagnosed the way in which certain pathologic mechanisms are constituted in academic writing, such as “self-handicapping”, the procrastination and the imposter syndrome, which tend to aggravate under the influence of the paradigm of “publish or perish”. As a counterpoint, we have built a catalog of strategies and singular arrangements made by writers of Literature and Law, with the objective of improving their own competences of self-regulation and time management, with the objective of safeguarding their writings quality <<even if time and distance says no==.
