O seguinte artigo analisa a consolidação dos modelos de "fábrica de conhecimentos" e de "capitalismo universitário" no Brasil na década de 1990, sob a égide da crítica neoliberal à gestão pública da educação pós-secundária. Após uma breve menção a esses modelos, discute o crescimento das instituições de ensino superior privado organizadas como empresas lucrativas e a redefinição institucional da universidade pública, que se aproxima do modelo de gestão daquelas instituições. Em sua conclusão, nota-se que um dos maiores danos provocados pela disseminação das práticas derivadas daqueles modelos é a lenta corrosão do papel de referente cultural da Universidade; e são apontados temas para futuras pesquisas.
The following article aims to identify, in the path of the Brazilian National Thought (here represented by Gilberto Freyre, Josué de Castro e Celso Furtado), the conceptions of Northeastern Brazil as a poor, problematic, and even "explosive" region. The conceptions of those Brazilian national thinkers-expressed in their work as much as in some of their commentators-, were presented as they are mentioned it the text, with each thinker corresponding to a section: Freyre's Brazilian Northeast, sweetened by tradition and salted by modernity; Castro's "explosive" Northeast; and the Brazilian Northeast as peripheral and "problematic", according to Furtado. Such order of authors reveals the ways by which some Northeastern Brazilian intellectuals made germinate the idea of a characteristically Northeastern pattern of poverty, to be fought only in the presence of state intervention.
