This study is intended to rationalize what technoscience is and how this new episteme has changed faculty work in higher education. This work was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic, a historical time that forced education workers who teach and research to transform their homes into classrooms, laboratories, and work offices. At this juncture, technoscience has become a continuous part of the life of the teaching social being, and this part of science that has been exhausting it of its original reason is changing the meanings of work as well as the mode of production in the 21st century. To do so, theoretical elements about the field of work and technoscience were gathered and discussed in order to understand them together with the research methodology adopted, characterized as qualitative research, of an exploratory nature, with individual interviews. The analyzed data were interpreted by means of content analysis and supported by the theoretical discussion. The main results obtained revealed that the teachers already live under the logic of control by means of technoscience devices and systems. All work is put under the signature of technoscience: teaching, research and leisure time have been compromised by the interference of mobile devices or digital networks coming from technoscience. Such dynamics, under control and optimization by means of algorithms, seem to be accentuated in the configuration of teaching work in post-pandemic Brazilian public higher education.
