A pegada ideológica na narrativa da segunda revolução académica. Análise crítica da construção de um paradigma*

Abstract

This article presents a critical review of the second academic revolution. The goal is to show how this milestone is susceptible to different reconstitutions and interpretations, which are not ideologically neutral. For this purpose, a hermeneutic and comparative analysis of texts that theorize this paradigm shift is presented. Four articles by Henry Etzkowitz are taken as the starting point. The vision that these transmit is assumed as the “official” narrative that will have had an influence on the university’s most recent transformation. However, when this theorization is confronted with other ideas – be they Etzkowitz’s own or those from a study bearing the seal of UNESCO – some inconsistences and limitations emerge as a result.
