Abstract

The university system is in the midst of an accelerated process of change. The beginning of the contemporary context has not only caused reconfigurations in the economic and political structures that surround their system but also in the design of their own sense. This essay argues that the transformation of the university system can be best understood as relationships and interactions. These relationships are presented through struggles and contradictions that give a new meaning to the educational function of the university. The direction of the university has changed: from a sense of major political and economic structures directing their dynamics and position in historical times, to other relational sense, from everyday life, where actors make the university an independent system.
