Resumo: This article aims to understand the political economy of higher education based on the contextualization and the description of the main government programs developed throughout the Lula and Dilma governments. The academic capitalism category will be explored for an initial analysis of neoliberal reforms in Brazilian higher education. The category seeks to identify the multiple forms and meanings through which market and pro-market behaviors have been adopted by the US universities to create processes of integration to the new economy in search of alternative funding sources. When Brazilian government programs are approached to the perspective of academic capitalism, we identify that the changes imposed by the amendments in legislation contribute to the restructuring of academic practices and create conditions for implementation of the academic capitalist regime. However, the functional-systemic-structural bias of the category and the need to mediate with the “concrete” imposes limits for the understanding of higher education reforms in the country. Thus, in order to reflect on the implications of neoliberal logic for reforms in dependent countries such as Brazil, it is necessary to resume the thinking of the Brazilian sociologist Florestan Fernandes and submit the dependent pattern category on higher education formulated by him in the 1970s to contemporary historical-concrete mediations to understand how ongoing reforms are related to that pattern.

Se explora la categoría capitalismo académico para un ejercicio inicial de análisis de las reformas neoliberales en la educación superior brasileña. Dicha categoría se propone identificar los múltiples significados y formas mediante los cuales las universidades estadunidenses han adoptado comportamientos de mercado y promercado para crear procesos de integración a la denominada nueva economía en búsqueda de fuentes alternativas de financiación. Al aproximar los programas del gobierno brasileño a la perspectiva del capitalismo académico, se identifica que los cambios impuestos por las modificaciones en la legislación contribuyen a la reestructuración de las prácticas académicas y crean condiciones para la implementación del régimen académico capitalista. Sin embargo, el sesgo funcionalista-sistémico-estructural de la categoría y la necesidad de mediación con lo concreto imponen límites a la comprensión de las reformas en la educación superior del país. Se observa que, para reflexionar sobre las implicaciones de la lógica neoliberal de las reformas en los países dependientes como Brasil, es necesario retomar el pensamiento del sociólogo brasileño Florestan Fernandes y someter la categoría estándar dependiente de la educación superior a mediaciones histórico-concretas contemporáneas para entender cómo las reformas en curso se relacionan con ese estándar.Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o exercício de compreensão da economia política do ensino superior a partir da contextualização e descrever os principais programas governamentais desenvolvidos nos governos Lula e Dilma. Exploramos a categoria capitalismo acadêmico para um exercício inicial de análise das reformas neoliberais no ensino superior brasileiro. Essa categoria busca identificar as múltiplas formas e significados, por meio das quais comportamentos de mercado e pró-mercado têm sido adotados pelas universidades estadunidenses para criar processos de integração à chamada nova economia em busca de fontes alternativas de financiamento. Ao aproximar os programas governamentais brasileiros à ótica do capitalismo acadêmico, identificamos que as mudanças impostas pelas alterações na legislação contribuem para a reestruturação das práticas acadêmicas e criam condições para a implementação do regime acadêmico capitalista. Entretanto, o viés funcionalista-sistêmico-estrutural da categoria e a necessidade de mediação com o concreto impõem limites para o entendimento das reformas no ensino superior do país. Vislumbramos que, para refletir sobre as implicações da lógica neoliberal nas reformas em países dependentes como o Brasil, é necessário retomar o pensamento do sociólogo brasileiro Florestan Fernandes e submeter a categoria padrão dependente de educação superior, formulada por ele na década de 1970, a mediações histórico-concretas coetâneas para compreender como as reformas em curso se relacionam com aquele padrão.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2018-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/65788Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2018); 396-409Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 16 Núm. 3 (2018); 396-409Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 16 n. 3 (2018); 396-4091679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/65788/72433https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/65788/72434Copyright (c) 2018 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Camila Furlan daGoulart, Sueli2018-09-11T14:22:27Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/65788Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:03.593440Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
