Abstract

Past fifty years of the work “Structural change in the public sphere” by Habermas, his work still arouses interest and continues current. This work presents in its context a brief history of the formation of Brazilian public sphere, showing some of its contrasts and challenges with emphasis on ethical and discursive means for solving conflicts. Emphasizes mediation as an instrument of recovery of citizenship for the formation of the public sphere. Finally, it discusses how the public sphere is realized under the Brazilian university. The public University, a space for human formation by excellence, has been going through major changes in recent times. Apart from realizing the challenge to attend a increasingly complex society, it has undergone profound structural changes with the implementation of expansion projects designed without proper debate discursive, like the REUNI. Urge that society critically and actively monitor this process to ensure the maintenance of quality of education and its relevance as a public space and democratic.
