Taking as its object the structural conditions of the social sciences applied in Brasil in contemporary times from a case analysis, the article takes as a question: what directions is the spirit of the applied social sciences taking in the current phase of capitalism in Brasil? In order to produce grounds to discuss this issue, the general objective of this essay is to raise material and discursive elements about the relationship between the neoliberal ideals and the remodelings in the social sciences applied in Brasil in the current phase of capitalism, taking as representative the case of a public university in Ceará estate. From a historical and dialectical materialist perspective, this article deals with discussing the advancement of the material and ideological elements of neoliberalism on the public university and on the economic, social conditions and professional activity of the teacher. Finally, we consider that the hovering of the neoliberal spirit over higher education institutions seeks to impose the logic of the individualization of the results of the living conditions of the population, thus pressing for a reorientation of undergraduate courses to the quantitative logic, of orientation to the market, in the search to scrap critical thinking, while teachers, in the condition of temporary, are in the process of economic, social and professional activity precariousness, in a short-term horizon of permanence in the activity.
