VOLPATO, Gildo. A universidade na sua constituição: criação, reformas e implicações político-epistemológicas. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2011, vol.92, n.232, pp.678-701. ISSN 2176-6681.

This study reviews the results of a bibliographic study concerning the historical, political and epistemological aspects that motivated the creation, the reforms and the Brazilian universities actuation. It shows historical aspects that enable the understanding of the Brazilian state attitude towards the adoption of an evaluator position after the National Educational Bases and Guidelines Law. There is a reflection concerning the Brazilian university pathway and an indication that there were actions that affected the present higher education system in Brazil. It concludes that a university is a social institution that has not come to an end, it is being resignified according to times and contexts, taking into account social actors, epistemological bases and cultural, political and economical conditions.
