Abstract

The discourse of the University as an organization is structured by the knowledge which supposedly would agree with the present time, and also interrupt any kind of question about the way which it is being stabilished. Its most important feature is the naturalization.The expression of the imaginary of the contemporary culture and its mechanisms can be approximated to other contemporary organizational forms. It has also got features from the totalitarian discourse, even if it does not agree completely with it, as the possibility of its visibility as a discourse is minor.
