SILVA JR, João dos Reis. Os limites políticos da democracia na educação superior brasileira delineados por intelectuais da academia. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.03, pp.461-482. ISSN 1414-4077.

The processes of change of Brazilian Higher Education in the last decades side by side with the new legal arrangement of the Modern State, have set in motion transformations in the identities of the Higher Education Institutions guided by values like the productivity, the rendering of services and the hierarchy of scientific fields of knowledge. This paper discusses these characteristics, relating them with the orientation traced by the Higher Education Research Nucleus (NUPES) at Sao Paulo University (USP) with the purpose of outlining the theoretical, ideological and political matrix based on market efficiency, producing a pragmatic and individualistic culture, provoking intensive and extensive processes of degradation of the professor's work in the Institution.

Palavras-chave : Higher Education; Theoretical Production; Higher Education Legal Order.
