Abstract

ROSA, Marluza da. Laws and readings: institutional discourse analysis on the “university reforms” in Brazil and in France (2003-2013). Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.461-482. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772021000200007.

This article focuses on the institutional discourse about the university and analyzes texts of laws instituted in a decade, during which the proposal for a university expansion in Brazil was developed. This scenario is contrasted to the same period, in France. The study presents a notion of institutional discourse that, from the official texts, makes it possible to (re) think the institutions and their discourses in operation. Based on the theoretical-methodological-analytical assumptions of discursive studies, this parallel aims to dialogue with the discussions on policies and practices that permeate higher education and academic research nowadays.

Keywords : Higher education; University reform; Institutional discourse.
