This research investigates the development of the Brazilian‘s higher education expansion with a focus on the federal public sector, analyzing the process that goes through the 1990s until reaching 2016 when the implementation of the Lei de Cotas is finalized (Federal Law 12.711/ 2012). It seeks to understand the process of democratizing access to federal public higher education in Brazil based on some reflections by Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse. To do so, it starts from the tensioning of the democracy and massification‘s concepts aimed at education, by apprehending the concepts to understand the nuances that govern this social phenomenon. Thus, with the help of the concepts of pseudoculture, technological thinking, managed society, Cultural Industry and emancipation, the expansion of Brazilian higher education is analyzed, in view of the contradictions related to the democratization of education, since the subject has also shown to be of interest to the managed society, which puts education in the position of a commodity among many others. This research aims to bring materiality to the analysis of expansion policies taking into account the data collected about the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) and the Federal University of ABC (UFABC). It was found that, although progress has been made in expanding access, inclusion and diversification of audiences in Brazilian higher education, at the same time the marketing of higher education, the fragmentation of formation and the massification of professional qualification has also advanced. Such trends, in tune with the adapted and totalizing life, indicate the transformation of the objectives of the public university, which increasingly start to prioritize education to the detriment of training individuals towards humanization.
