This article aims to identify the esteem of place of teachers from Higher Education Institutions located in the interior of the State of Ceará, Brazil, in relation to their place of work. The esteem of place is a category of analysis that concerns the affective processes that occur in the person-environment interrelationship. This affection can be classified as belonging, pleasantness, insecurity, destruction and contrast. To achieve the proposed objective, a qualitative approach research was carried out, in which the Affective Maps Generator Instrument (AMGI) was applied with teachers from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of the private sphere, located in the regions of Cariri and the Center-South cearenses, Brazil. The information obtained through the AMGI was evaluated through categorical content analysis. The constructed material will show that professors from private HEIs in the inner of Ceará have an esteem of destruction and contrast between pleasantness and insecurity, with an emphasis on insecurity. These results point to a tendency towards divergences between the esteem of place among professors from public institutions in the capital and private institutions in the interior of the State of Ceará, Brazil. In addition, they serve as a warning for the need to reflect on the implications of neoliberal policies in education.

Keywords : Place esteem; professor; university education; Brazil.
