Extensión: transformaciones vitales en la relación universidad-comunidad

La extensión universitaria, como quehacer académico de gran envergadura, quedó plasmada desde la fundación de la Universidad Nacional, como una de las tres áreas académicas constitutivas. El Estatuto Orgánico de 1976, así como el actual, han fijado la gran importancia al compromiso de interacción permanente universidad-sociedad donde ambas se transforman recíprocamente para impactar en la actualidad y en el futuro de ambas.AbstractUniversity outreach, as a major academic task, was given expression since the very beginning of the Universidad Nacional as one of its three academic founding areas. Both, the 1976 and the 1993 University’s Statute Acts set great importance to the permanent based commitment between university and society. In such relationship, university and society are, currently and prospectively, mutually transformed. 

NOTES ON THE PRESENT OF THE CONCEPT OF DISCURSIVE FORMATION

This paper aims to discuss some points on the concept of discursive formation’s formulation and application. I elaborate my point by putting in relation three French texts equally stated in Brazilian soil. Jean-Jacques Courtine, Jacques Guilhaumou and Dominique Maingueneau separately wrote each one of these three texts. Moreover, I have not randomly chosen their names: they are three authors who constitute concepts across theoretical formulations of Discourse Analysis in France, and, because of that, they are often cited in order to keep this area of knowledge in Brazil. So that my argument is justified by the need of analyzing, throughout the meeting of those three statements, an attempt to define the current status of the concept of discursive formation to the historical a priori for the Discourse Analysis’ discourse in Brazil. In order to be guaranteed of some theoretical approach, I turn my attention to the famous conference by Michel Foucault (1971), L’ordre du discours, in which he exposes four principles to examine the statement’s function of existence: specificity, inversion, discontinuity, and exteriority. Underlining the principle of specificity of a statement through the series of statements, I aim to demonstrate that a concept’s circulation does not depend on an ontological truth, or on a founding text, or on the specificity of a father; it is determined by the will to truth, which offers historical conditions to the underlying discursive practices.

ESSÊNCIA E CONCEITO, FORMA E SUBSTÂNCIA: INTERSEÇÕES EPISTEMOLÓGICAS ENTRE O ESTRUTURALISMO INATISTA DE CHOMSKY E O ESTRUTURALISMO SISTÊMICO DE SAUSSURE

This paper revisits the philosophical historiography in pursuit of problem ontologies that demarcate some salutary issues of human knowledge. Based on these relevant ontological issues, we insert us into the discussion of some authors that demonstrate the continuity of such questions in the theoretical and doctrinal pillars present in the current Linguistics since its modern founding by Saussure. I still propose that such issues are present, too, beyond the Saussurean structuralism, in the Chomskian neo-structuralism, revealing deeper epistemological intersections that under Linguistics dialogue with philosophical ontological questions.
