Resumo
O artigo explora o significado das transformações da universidade, tema que recebeu grande atenção na pesquisa sobre o Ensino Superior (ES) nas últimas décadas. Focando especificamente na distinção missão | negócio, se argumenta que precisamos ir além de uma crítica da realidade acadêmica no século XXI, que vê o capitalismo acadêmico, o gerencialismo, a mercantilização, etc., como algo simplesmente externo ao ES. Ou seja, a distinção missão | negócio questiona qual é a essência do ES no século XXI e se as missões da universidade atual estão se relocando para um negotium, dando forma a uma universitas negotiorum, por assim dizer. Ao discutir a questão central, o artigo começa recapitulando as principais transformações no ES que impactam as três principais missões da universidade: pesquisa, ensino e serviços de extensão. De seguida, situa conceitualmente a ideia de universitas e refere-se aos termos missão | negócio ao deliberar sobre a importância destas mudanças para a essência do ES na atualidade. O artigo também discute questões relativas à mobilidade internacional. O artigo conclui com algumas considerações sobre o posicionamento de pesquisadores e a orientação normativa do ES para o futuro.
